This colder than normal winter has had its good and bad points. The bad: cold, dark, dreary, cold, wet, and did I mention cold? About sick of the freezing temps! The GOOD: more new chili recipes, ta dah. I have never had or put carrots in a chili, but this ingredient was the bomb! I love the crunchy texture. Oh, and let’s not forget that kick from the chipolte powder; that will definitely warm you on these cold winter days! This is a definite repeat, meeting my requirements: gluten free, dairy free, easy and Good!
