I am patting myself on the back for actually making real meals. The transition into adulthood has not been as smooth for as as for others in terms of eating but I’m adapting and I’m happy to say I’m getting in the flow of things. One of the things that have made the transition easier are healthy crock pot recipes (this and this) I’ve been making lately.
Like this Vegan Butternut Chili, for example. It’s my first time making “chili” although I know it isn’t the typical traditional chili you’re used to. The thing is, I didn’t try my first chili until I went to college and I had it in our dorm cafeteria! I know, I know. Chili is not something we had in Poland and that’s why it was until I was 19 that I got to try this hearty warming stew. It was very good but it was also pretty darn salty. I wasn’t surprised though since most American soups are WAY over the top with the salt. Meh. As a person who barely uses salt, you can imagine how sensitive my tastebuds are to salty flavors. Like, way sensitive. Salt central. I needed to make my own chili so I could actually make it the way I like it!
So fast forward 4 years later, I’m living in my own apartment and I have a love affair with my Slow Cooker and we made a baby – Vegan Butternut Chili. To embrace the fabulous seasonal ingredient in the form of squash and making the recipe not only healthier but also CHEAPER (meat is expensive as heck!), this healthy chili is a perfect dinner or lunch option.
