Quinoa Chili
I hope your year is off to a great start. Tell me what are you planning to do in 2015? You can check out my goals for the year in my Happy 2015 post.
After all the holiday parties, Christmas dinners (I had five!), platters of Christmas cookies, and a NYD brunch I need a little diet refresher. Something simple yet flavorful. Something I could get on the table in about 20 minutes.
I have a feeling you will see lots of quick dinners this year. One of my goals this year is to reduce the number of times we order out/carry out/pick up food. Quick dinners are going to become my go-to. Everyone is busy and we could all use quick dinners, right?!
This time of year I want to eat all the soups, stews, and chilis. A heaping bowl warms me from the inside out. This simple chili is gluten free (check labels on your beans) and vegetarian/vegan friendly. While the chili leftovers do thicken I think it makes it even better.
This looks so simple yet so flavorful. My favorite types of recipes!!
Mine too Jocelyn!
Nice, I love a good bowl of chili. It’s smart to have these meals ready to go and do less take out/eat out.
I love that it is quick and makes enough for leftovers!
YUM! This sounds delicious. I am totally on a quinoa kick lately and I love the potential spice factor this has. Totally going on my grocery list of items.
I hope you enjoy it Jordan!
Such a quick and easy recipe! Sounds great for a cold day!
Quick and easy is what I need right now. I hope you cozy up to a bowl of this soon!
I made chili last night too! Isn’t it the perfect healthy meal that doesn’t taste healthy?
Love the idea of making it with quinoa.
Chili is perfect for both healthy and unhealthy eating 🙂
I’m all about quick dinners too and given that this is healthy is even better!! It’s -10 degrees here today so this would be perfect for dinner.
It will warm you up for sure.
This sounds SO delicious! I LOVE quinoa in chili. Other great vegetarian add-ins are rice and/or lentils!
Both of those sound wonderful Hannah!
I just love love love chili! I’ve never made it with Quinoa though but love the extra fiber you would get with it.
It is a good protein replacer too!
