Totally Chill Veggie Chili

“This yummy vegetarian chili recipe is easy, fast, and very forgiving,” says Chrystle Cu, dentist and co-founder of Cocofloss. “You can add or omit things based on what you have available.” 

Thanks for being so easy going, Chili. Filled with fiber-packed beans, vegan protein, and vitamin-rich veggies, you’re healthy to boot. You’re also delicious with cornbread. 

(Yes, we’re talking to the chili. We’ve all been social-distancing for awhile now. 🤪)
