White Lightning Tempeh Chili

"The original recipe called for chicken and I won a chili competition with it a couple of years ago. I found that recipe on cooks.com and have since made this vegetarian version that tastes as good as the original according to my meat-eating husband. The tempeh taste was pretty strong the first day but the flavors melded by day 2. So, I've decided not to reduce the amount of tempeh in the recipe."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Currently I'm a stay at home mom (and loving it!) looking for healthy recipes. I am a recent vegetarian convert and yogi. Thought I'd stop eating meat while doing yoga but think it will be a lifetime change. Rest of family is not following suit. They are pretty good at eating whatever I make for them with these exceptions: our youngest doesn't like vegetables, his big brother doesn't like fish and his big sister won't even try tofu or tempeh. Dad is the disposal who cleans up after everyone! That's our family and my mealtime challenge in a nutshell. Life is definitely interesting.
