Here’s a little secret, I don’t actually watch football. I’m like the 10% of people in this country that do not watch football I guess. With that being said, I always watch the SuperBowl. I enjoy the big game day mostly for the food, the commercials, and the half-time show.

This Lentil and Black Bean chili is Vegan, and so hearty that honestly you can’t even tell that there is not meat in it.
