Vegan Chorizo & Pumpkin Chili

By 15 Comments

Loaded with pumpkin spice & everything nice (literally), and topped with velvety vegan sour cream, red onions, seasoned pumpkin seeds, and fresh herbs … my Vegan Chorizo & Pumpkin Chili will blow that basic Chili right outta the water.

Easy, Comforting Soup You Didn’t Even Know You Needed Until Now.

Ok, I know what you’re thinking. Chorizo? Pumpkin? Chili?! I thought the same thing, too until I tried it and let me tell you … this might be the best chili I’ve ever had. And that’s saying a lot, because as you all know, I am a soup connoisseur. From Vegan Albondigas to Chick’n & Dumpling Soup, you know I love my fair share of soups! Initially, I didn’t think Chorizo and Pumpkin would pair well with chili, but something about these combination of flavors (along with a few other ingredients) just hits different, if ya know what I mean?! All I’m sayin’ is, don’t knock it til you try it.

Anyway, Grab a drink and let’s get to cookin’ the best vegan pumpkin chili!

Vegan Bruschetta Chickn Pasta with Balsamic Cream Sauce

By 7 Comments

Fun Fact : Bruschetta is my favorite appetizer of. all. time. Whenever there’s a potluck or a get-together, my go-to dish is this Pea Pesto Bruschetta. It’s so flavorful, fresh, light, and out of this world good – my friends and family can attest to this!

Fun Fact #2 : Ya’ll should know this already, but pasta is my favorite food of all time. Like, I can eat a ridiculous amount of noods and not get full. I am the human pasta/noodle garage disposal, and I have no shame in admitting this. I love them so, so, sooo much (example A, B, and C).

I have no idea why the thought of combining these two dishes hasn’t crossed my mind much sooner. I mean…instead of putting bruschetta mix on bread, why not toss it in pasta with balsamic cream sauce?! Duh, Ashley.

I guess that saying is true, though. Good things do come to those who wait, because this Vegan Bruschetta Chickn Pasta is the best thing that’s happened to my taste buds in a long time!
