The following recipes have been recommended from Le fidèLe Designs affiliate Abe’s Market who has sponsored this article. I thought I’d pass them onto to y’all because I don’t invent recipes that include chili powder, corn, or soy… but I think there are many of you out there who would enjoy these anyway. (If you have allergies, you can try adding more beans to replace the tofu in the vegan chili, omit the corn in the turkey chili, and replace the chili powder with other spices of your choosing.)
Faithfully yours,
Leigh
