30-Minute Red Quinoa Vegetarian Chili Recipe

March 31, 2014

Doesn't it seem wrong that my kids are picky eaters when their mom is a trained chef and recipe developer!? Well, it's true. That's why I was happily surprised when my 10-year-old went out of his comfort zone and devoured (yes, devoured!) this amazingly healthy red quinoa vegetarian chili! He especially loved it over his nachos. (Whatever works, right?) Perfect for a busy weeknight, you can whip this one-pot comfort food meal up in just 30 minutes, and I bet your entire family will absolutely love it!

Valentina's passion is food, and she loves spending time in her "kitchen retreat," as she refers to that room in her house. Valentina develops recipes for creative and comforting food that works perfectly for casual entertaining. Both her recipes and food photography have been featured many times on popular food websites and in print. Valentina shares her beautiful photographs as well as new and interesting recipes almost daily on her blog, Cooking on the Weekends.

Outside the worlds of food and photography, Valentina's other passion is her family (including her two young boys, her husband and her puppy, Maple.)
