chili – the best!

sent by phill lindsay

this winter (’19) i dug out my commonplace recipes for veggie burgers (same as what andrea shared though i substituted brazil nuts for the peanuts) and chili. for the latter, first i made a quarter batch then, for a party, a half batch. it got compliments. my recipe card is dated 1973. here’s the recipe in full:

16 c. kidney beans, cooked. 4 c. chopped onions
3/4 c. oil 4 c. chopped green peppers
10 c. tomatoes 4 c. chopped celery
8 tsp. cumin 4 tsp. turmeric
4 tsp. garlic powder. 1 tsp. cayenne
4 Tbs. chili powder. 1 tsp. celery seeds
4 bay leaves 1 Tbs. salt
1/2 c. finely chopped parsley (opt.)

brown onions & peppers in oil – add celery & seasonings, a little water, and cook until tender. Add tomatoes & cooked kidney beans. Cook till done.
(Serve with corn bread!)

happy memories! now, if someone can get me the ”date bar” recipe from people’s company bakery!

Veggie Burgers

Decided to make a recipe section, after this exchange between Cheryl, Andrea, and Jan:

Cheryl:

I still eat healthy, grow much of my own food and would love the original veggie burger recipe.

Andrea:

Cheryl: I have the original recipe and although I have not made it many years when I do I love them. The card is so stained I can hardly see the recipe!

Roast:
3 cups peanuts
2 cups sunflower seeds
2 cups sesame seeds

3/4 cup spy flour
3/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tsp salt
2 tsp dill seed
2 carrots
3 stalks celery
2 cups rice
2 medium onions
2 packages soy “something”
4 tsp lecithin
8 cloves garlic

Mix it all together!

I also still eat healthy; we started young and just kept going!

Jan:

my recipe calls for 2&2/3 cups cooked soybeans. i switched to crumbled tempeh-easier to digest. garbanzos are good too.
