Sandburg Blue Ridge Veggie Chili

[@hamrthroer]

So many years I pondered what to do with the extra bit that I always throw away and now I know. You’re so full of wisdom Ann!

[@Sellsangel]

When you have extra tomato paste measure it out by the Tablespoon into an ice tray. Once it is frozen you can put it in a bag/container and the next time you need 1 Tbsp of tomato paste, you just use one cube. 👍

[@Sellsangel]

@@Leroy100 hahaha I keep it in a small bag on the door of the freezer 👍

[@mamakins5123]

As I don’t really measure tomato paste I bypass the ice cube tray and just put it straight into the baggie. I flatten the bag so I can easily break off frozen pieces as needed. I use frequently so in the freezer door works for me. But, as frozen leftovers get lost/forgotten in my freezer I now use a tub in my freezer to hold those hard to find things and a small items that fall out when I open the door. The bin I use takes up about 1/4 of the space (camping wash size Rubbermaid bin). When hungry and in a hurry or haven’t done groceries - pull the bin out and enjoy a mystery meal.

OMG I Love Anne's humor and her facial expressions! I think I need to get this cookbook and also try the recipe in an Instant pot. I like to just throw everything in and set and go.

[@keeprush4732]

I love the chemistry between you two!! Thanks for showing us healthy recipes.

[@FunUrth4All]

You ladies are super creative🎉

[@denisevuono3422]

I have made this at least three times since I stumbled on this recipe about two months ago. I absolutely love it. I will be making it for a get together with friends. Fairly new to the plant based way of living. I haven’t had any meat since May 2022 and I am hoping to get my family on board as well. Thanks for all the great recipes and the moments of laughter. Good health to everyone.

[@bond.5314]

Jane, cut off both ends of the tomato paste can and then push the whole thing out one end with a spoon! Great kitchen hack! This looks great! Can't wait to try!

[@FunUrth4All]

Super!

[@doloreserin]

I just made this chili last week and ate off it for days. I added some tofu sour cream on top and it was fantastically delicious! I love the banter between you and your Mom just great. Sounds like me and my Dad. Dolores

[@Sheri...]

The chili looks really good. You two are so amusing to watch.

[@kismypencek6185]

Taste the rainbow with this one!!! Very interesting with that amount of lemon indeed. Definitely gonna try this style since it covers more veggie variety. I try to spare cooking the veggies to death like in the old days or how my family did things. I believe el dente keeps the live enzymes for maximum health benefit. So i would lean to cooking all at the same time starting with hardest to soft. Maybe if your families have the time to experiment with different cooking times to give us your taste review to see if going rogue is too detrimental to it. I love how you talk about the serendipity of how we cook with what we have. I threw together a chili recently using what i had to include sweet potatoes and lentils for the first time and found it to be fantastic! BUT for days I was having an odd feeling about it that i couldn't put my finger on until a friend said he really enjoyed that i didn't put beans in it... lol i guess this is part of getting old. I think i made Dahl. Imagine if they served this in hospitals how healthy patients would be!!!

[@nanettedavidson8949]

Y'all are a riot! Love this. The chilli looks good too.

I pre-ordered the must have "Be A Plant-Based Woman Warrior" new cookbook a couple months ago... it does not have the cover image...in my head, the cover will be Jane sitting in that tire and Ann pulling it! You go girls!

[@librarynan4610]

So, I am making this for dinner tonight. Did not have parsley, but I did have kale so in goes the kale. Looks like you could put whatever in it and it will be good.

[@lindygret2737]

I just made this on a rainy Sat morning here in PA. Can't wait until lunch. Looks like pure comfort food. You both are great!!

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

How did it taste? It’s a lot of ingredients and money and time for it to no be a “keeper”

[@lindygret2737]

@@Thatcntrygirl1 We loved it. Yes it is a keeper. The only thing I will change is to put less fennel seeds but that is just our preference. Now that I see it has been 2 months I am now wanting to make it again!! Hope you like it if you make it.

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

@@lindygret2737 thanks for the reply I will make it eventually thx again

[@bethmartof1262]

How many sweet potatoes and how much cumin did you use?

[@angelahuff9686]

FYI love the cook book. Made Sandra’s chili and one suggestion when it’s done is to mash it up a little bit. Makes it thicker and opens up all the taste of the beans. Love u and your mom. Lost 20 lbs on Wfpb cooking. Feel amazing.

[@susanm9078]

Oh my goodness! This is delicious! Watched the video on the way to the beach, stopped at the store to buy what I needed on the way home and made it this afternoon. It is delicious, hubby said I hit it out of the park!

[@Walkinfaith12]

When Jane said over ice.!! 🧊 😂 ❤️ the humor in cooking.

[@saladstrongsoprano8643]

I use my instant pot (set it and forget it). But since I use soaked uncooked beans, I set the thing for 60 minutes.. Over rice, or pearled barley or buckwheat.

[@sandiereinbold3753]

This is the first recipe I made from your wonderful cookbook. Everyone loved it especially me! I made a double batch and even got to freeze some. I love the fennel taste. It was unique! Thanks for your great cookng videos. I love WFPB eating... keep up the great work!!

[@bakarangerpinku]

4:20 Great moment to pause and say BLUE SPIRULINA!! I just had a Vanilla Blue Sky at Jamba Juice last night. I’m pretty sure it’s flavorless, but you’re not going to see the pretty blue in the chili if you add it. It might turn it black, though LOL… Anyway. Now you have a pretty blue to work with in other sweet recipes!!

[@LisadeKramer]

I love you two. I would love to cook with you too. I have the cookbook just need to figure out how to make this in smaller portions being single.

[@RawBrilliance]

Ooh! Stylish! Not to mention yum!

[@dogcatfamily2476]

I wouldn't call this a chili it's more like a SW vegetable stew. Delicious I'm sure going to make for 4th of July pot luck with big full rice cooker next to it and chips. Probably will be only healthy food served! Thank you!

[@estherdavis6019]

I buy a very large jar of tomato paste and freeze in ice cube trays. When frozen I pop the cubes into a freezer bag. I can thaw ( one minute in microwave) a cube or two for pizza base layer or any other recipe.

[@nazokashii]

Always such a joy to watch 😌 love the backstory, and it really seems like such a delicious and great recipe ☺ thank you so much for sharing 💜

How long do you cook it? My Mama, God bless her, had a set answer for that question. She was born at the beginning of the 20th century on a farm in rural South Georgia. She cooked on wood stoves, kerosene stoves, gas stoves and loved her microwave at the end of her cooking career. Mama’s answer to how long you cook it? “Til it’s done!”

This here English man is ever so pleased to hear you pronounce 'tomatoes' correctly. To-ma-to (ma as in baah) not To-ma-to (ma as in May). Only having fun. Keep on calling whatever you call anything. I love variety.

[@bakarangerpinku]

3:01 NO! Jane, you actually should have waited. Because minced garlic is so small, it cooks much faster than everything else in there, and then it burns. When it burns, it makes it bitter. Maybe you’re okay with the bitter flavor, Jane, but I don’t like it either, Ann! It only really takes 15-60 seconds to cook. Beyond that is bitter and burnt… Okay carry on lol.

I’m trying plant based intermittent fasting and am experiencing extreme hunger. Suggestions?

[@bakarangerpinku]

Depending on what you’re doing, you might require actual food. Sometimes fasting isn’t suitable… Have a smoothie. It sounds like you’re not ready to be water fasting. It sounds like you’re in the stage of needing to wean yourself down on food before you can fast. But you’re just trying to go hard core water fasting. Smoothies for now. You’re going to get some nutrition, but you’re going to grow accustomed to not actually chewing your food which prepares you for fasting. That’s also probably part of it but you don’t realize. So, if you binge the day before you planned fast, you’re probably not going to be able to do it lol. Or, you have great willpower and you _can_ do it, but you make it that much harder for yourself. 😅 Fasting isn’t for everybody. Personally I want to do a Daniel Fast, because doing a water fast doesn’t really agree with me. The last time I did that I had hallucinations and I think I might’ve been knocking on death’s door for some reason. I probably have something undiagnosed that says I should never go without for days on end… Anyway, please consider that every _body_ is different. Maybe it’s really not for you. What’s good for one person, isn’t always good for the next person. Think about going on a Daniel Fast. The food list is even more strict than theirs lol. Usually people do the Daniel Fast to get closer to God, and for breakthrough in their life, but you can do it for anything. Other people have experienced miraculous healing when they’ve done this fast because they were asking for healing. Trust me. It’s still fasting. You think it’s not fasting when you go into it because you’re eating food, but when you start eating the Daniel Fast foods, you realize it’s still totally fasting. Good luck and GBY!
