One of my favourite blogs to read everyday is A Beautiful Mess. The lovely sister duo, Elsie and Emma along with their team share recipes, DIY’s, fashion, blog tips and tricks. It’s a joy to read and easy on the eye, their photography is stunning.
About a month ago the girls posted Vegetarian Chili: 3 Ways. In Australia, we don’t really tend to get into the ‘Chili’ thing, but I was inspired. I saved the post and knew that I’d come back to it later.
While we were in Hawaii, we ate a lot of black beans. I was inspired and I knew that I would have to find some when we got back home.
So yesterday when I was searching for some ingredients in our local health food shop I found dried black beans and I immediately reminded of the post on A Beautiful Mess. So on the way home I picked up the rest of the ingredients and created my version of chili, combining all three.

It was delicious! Are you a fan of chili? I’d love some tips and tricks, so I can make some others. What’s your favourite side to go with chili?
I haven’t had chili for this reason! I make Mexi beans a lot but my favourites are the little black ones. You can get them at Harris Farm but there isn’t one close to me. Looking good!

I love a good chilli…a dish I certainly didn’t grow up with, but something I’ve started to cook for a couple of years now. We actually had chilli for dinner last night! As I’m not a fan of sour cream or guacamole (I know!), I like mine with cheese and rice. Simple and plain.

Sounds good, I’m all about the addition of cheese to chilli!
