Three Bean Vegetarian Chili is so good, carnivores will not miss the meat! This healthy chili takes only 30 minutes to make, and leftovers reheat well. {vegan, gluten free}
Three Bean Vegetarian Chili, also known as “Veg Head” Chili, is one of our favorite recipes to make during the cooler months. This chili is hearty enough to satisfy meat eaters and vegetarians (and vegans!) alike…due to the addition of the third bean ~ refried beans! The refried beans are an unexpected addition that thickens the chili perfectly and gives it a the nice hearty texture. Combined with the other beans and all of the vegetables and spices, this chili has quickly become a family favorite….
Cheese has always been one of my favorite foods. As a child I remember sneaking some cheese whenever my mom was in the kitchen, or simply grabbing a Kraft Single on my way out to play. I also remember my mom always made my brother a ham and cheese sandwich using Kraft Singles, but I liked my cheese plain. That is…until I discovered the grilled cheese sandwich. Melty cheese on bread? So simple yet so delicious!
When I went to college and had my own apartment, I started experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches. It was around this time when I noticed Kraft Singles came in more varieties than American, and I was very excited to see they came in Swiss! I made a tasty little combo with a slice of cheddar, a slice of Swiss, some sauteed onions, all on multi-grain bread. Grilled cheese perfection every time. Oh…the memories!
That was all many years ago, yet my love for experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches continues to this day. Mike and I like to mix it up with tomatoes, sunflower seeds, onions, bacon (for him)…really nothing too crazy, but always tasty. This time, I thought it would be fun to experiment with guacamole and make a Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
For a while now, I have had a recipe flagged for a grilled cheese made on the stove top and in the oven, without any butter. This sounded like the perfect method for the Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The result? Amazing! The stove-to-oven method gives the bread a crispy exterior without any frying or being greasy. The cheese is perfectly melted, and the guacamole can shine right through. This Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a fun and tasty twist on a childhood favorite.

This Lighter Sesame Chicken dish has been a staple around our house for years and is truly one of our favorite chicken dishes. It is easy to make, using ingredients you most likely already have at home. The recipe also halves easily, making a nice dinner for 2….
From the original recipe, I used tomatoes with chiles, added more vegetables and increased the chili powder. This soup reheats beautifully, though over time the broth gets absorbed making it almost like a chili. I like it that way, but if you prefer your soup more soupy, I recommend adding some broth or water when reheating. Chunky Tortilla Soup with Black Beans is a healthy and delicious soup, and perfect to enjoy this winter!
