Winter is officially here! Gone are the random warm weather days. When we were shopping for this month’s recipe for Phoenix Public Market we asked ourselves what we like to eat when it is this cold. The answer was chili. We love a good hearty chili that sticks to you. In an effort to make it a bit healthier and use ingredients from the market, we came up with our Winter Vegetable Slow Cooker Chili.

Our Winter Vegetable is not only a great way to use seasonal vegetables, but it is vegan as well! Hearty and healthy means you can have a comfort food favorite and keep your new year’s resolution. This month’s recipe also features one of our latest discoveries from Phoenix Public Market. We discovered Carefree Spice Company! After trying several of their blends and buying a few for non-site use, we decided to use their Chili seasoning as the base of our chili. Pair that with some delicious winter squashes and turnips (Maya’s Farm has amazing turnips) and you have a veggie lover’s dream! Not to mention, it all goes in the slow cooker!

We hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we enjoyed coming up with it! Next month we will be doing a special recipe for Valentine’s Day! So don’t forget to check back! We’ll see you at the Market!
