Outrageously Good Vegan Chili


Hi Reader,

Winter calls for hearty, stick-to-your-ribs kind of meals, and I've got the *perfect* warming recipe for you: vegan bean chili.

Most chili recipes have you take so many shortcuts that you end up with a bowl of bean soup. While I love soup, chili is definitively not soup.

This version is rich, velvety, and layered with spices. And it's so hearty that no one will miss the meat!

The blog post contains:

  • Step-by-step instructions and photos
  • 5 secrets for making the BEST chili
  • An incredible homemade chili powder recipe

Everything you need for the perfect bowl of chili!

by Nisha Vora Hey Reader-- There are a hundred ways to cook a potato, but my absolute favorite way to enjoy them is to make crispy smashed potatoes. I like this method more than classic roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, baked potatoes, and, yes, even French fries. The textural contrast is nothing short of addictive, and they're shockingly easy to make. In my recipe, potatoes get par-boiled, smashed, then roasted until they become perfectly crispy on the outside but creamy...

by Nisha Vora Hi Reader-- If Thanksgiving left you in a food coma (no regrets!), I’ve got just the thing to ease you back into wholesome, feel-good eating: Creamy Potato Leek Soup.

Today, I wanted to share a revised list of what I'm making this week for Thanksgiving. With 17 family members joining this year, my parents' kitchen is going to be crowded. So for most of these dishes, I'm doing the work well ahead of time. If you haven't planned your menu, there's still time to grocery shop today and prep a few of these items...
