I wish it was Sunday 'cause thats my fun day! I only had Sunday off of work this week so Monday came way too fast! Luckily I have some of this yumminess in my freezer from a few weeks ago so I don't have to cook dinner tonight!
Vegetarian Butternut Squash Chipotle Chili with Avocado
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 small butternut squash, peeled and chopped
4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
ground sea salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½+ tablespoon chopped chipotle pepper in adobo* (start with ½ tablespoon and add more to taste, I thought mine was just right with 1 tablespoon)
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
14-ounce can diced tomatoes, including the liquid**
4 cups cooked black beans or 2 cans, rinsed and drained
14-ounce can (about 2 cups) vegetable broth - (I used Swanson's Mexican Broth because I had it in the pantry - it worked really well!)
1 Avocados, diced
cilantro (optional, for garnish)
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 small butternut squash, peeled and chopped
4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
ground sea salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½+ tablespoon chopped chipotle pepper in adobo* (start with ½ tablespoon and add more to taste, I thought mine was just right with 1 tablespoon)
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
14-ounce can diced tomatoes, including the liquid**
4 cups cooked black beans or 2 cans, rinsed and drained
14-ounce can (about 2 cups) vegetable broth - (I used Swanson's Mexican Broth because I had it in the pantry - it worked really well!)
1 Avocados, diced
cilantro (optional, for garnish)
In a 4 to 6 quart Dutch oven or stockpot, sautée the vegetables (onion, bell pepper, butternut squash, garlic) in one to two tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat. Stir the ingredients every few minutes.
When the onions start turning translucent, turn the heat down to medium-low. Add all of the spices and canned ingredients, and stir. Cover for about one hour, stirring occasionally. After an hour your butternut squash should be soft but not mushy and the liquid should have reduced to a chili consistency.
Now top with avocado and cilantro and eat!

Chew bought me a new paint sprayer for my birthday and I am SO excited to bust it out!
I have been wanting to redo our dining room chairs with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint for a few months now. I started on the table but the chairs have spindles and were a huge pain! I'll share the projects as they happen, I have quite a list in mind!
