Black Bean & Quinoa Chili

Black Bean & Quinoa Chili

I had zero intentions of posting this recipe today…only because it was a last minute creation after I got home from work Monday night and had plans on posting either a Pumpkin Bar recipe (which I think I’m saving for October) or Healthy Blueberry Cobbler Recipe. Both mouthwatering, if I don’t say so myself

Facebook rules…this recipe got hands down the most vote. So here it is!

Meat lovers, I am sorry, but this recipe is meatless. **Did you know: Before I met Blake I only ate meat around once a week and now I eat it multiple times/day. Just one great reason why I love Blake…he brought the meat back into my life! 

There is nothing extraordinary about this recipe, just lots of good, whole flavors mixed together to create a delicious soup-like chili. 

There is a secret ingredient…other than these serrano peppers.

A stick of cinnamon

That’s right, the entire time the chili was slow cooking on the stove, a stick of cinnamon lettin’ out its flavor!

Oh leftovers. You are about to be my best friend.
