Iron Rich Vegan Chilli

"The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present." - Eckhart Tolle

Hello Friends. Can you believe it's almost Christmas? 
My second month of blogging is over and I don't know where November has gone. 

It's getting a lot colder here in Vancouver so naturally I'm gravitating into making more hot food. Chilli has got to be my favourite. All you do is throw a bunch of vegetables, legumes, and spices into  Large pot and let it sit on medium temperature for 45 minutes. It costs under $5 to make a huge pot that lasts at least 3 or 5 meals, and it's Iron rich which Anemic-me loves. 
I usually put whatever is in my fridge in the pot, but when I intend to make it for the week I do have my favourite mixture of vegetables and spices. I learnt this one from my aunt & cousin who sell pampered chef (my all time favourite kitchen tools). Feel free to add whatever other vegetables you want.
