This is a healthy chili, OH MY GOODNESS!, did I say Healthy? It is great for parties and those get-togethers for us older people. lol

Yum! This chili is hearty AND healthy... a wonderful way to warm yourself through and through. This is a terrific vegetarian dish - one where you'll never even miss the meat.
