veggie chili & buttermilk cornbread


i make this at least every other week.
this is my mom's chili recipe,
adapted to be meatless.
it is comfort food - veggie style.
veggie chili
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
salt & pepper
1 bag of morningstar veggie crumbles
1 big can of tomatoes
1 jar mushrooms, rinsed
1 can kidney beans, rinsed
1 can pinquintos, lightly rinsed (keep some spices)
spaghetti, broken (cook first, then add it)

saute onions & garlic.
add spices & salt & pepper.
combine all ingredients & simmer 20 minutes.
serve with grated cheddar & cornbread.


buttermilk cornbread
1 stick of butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour (i use whole wheat pastry flour)
1/2 tsp salt

preheat oven to 375°
melt butter in cast iron skillet.
remove from heat & stir in sugar.
add eggs & beat well.
add buttermilk & baking soda, mix well.
add cornmeal, flour, & salt, mix well.
place cast iron skillet in oven & bake 30 minutes,
or until golden brown.

if you start the cornbread first,
it will be ready at the same time as the chili.
it will smell so delicious,
the neighbors will wonder what you're making.
