    It's officially tailgating season and I'm celebrating by sharing the recipes for two of my family's favorite game day eats! This ultimate vegetarian chili & herb laced guacamole recipe is always at the top of my list for fall gatherings, because they're easy to prepare, feed a crowd, and make both our vegan and meat eating friends happy.

    If you're wondering what makes my ultimate vegetarian chili recipe so ultimate it's the combination of 4 types of beans, 3 types of peppers, sweet potato, and a bevy of smoky spices. I make this plant based chili rich and "meaty” by using my favorite star anise and cardamom laced chili powder mixed with vegan "beef" broth .

    I am all about cooking and prepping in advance of game day gathering, which makes chili an excellent choice, but guacamole has always been one of those things that I saved to the last minute because I would worry it would turn brown. There is nothing more unappetizing than brown guacamole!! This season is different though because I've found Casabella’s Guac-Lock. This little kitchen gadget is a miracle for guac lovers like us, because it has a plunger system that pushes the air out of the container keeping my guac the perfect shade of green for hours on end.

    Our son, Kash, loves to make guac, but in the past I hesitated to let him help because sharp knives and little hands don't mix. Now that I have Casabella's  4 'n 1 Avocado Tool he can do all of the halving, removing pits, and scooping of the avocado safely himself while I use their Clip 'N Strip Shears  to perfectly trim the herbs we will need. So we can knock out the prep in half the time and get to the business of watching the game! Ok, who am I kidding? So we can get to the business of eating!
