One of our favorite spots to eat is the Sano Cafe in Worcester. It's connected to the healthy, organic food store Living Earth. We're there at least once a month and on the way out we always pick up the newest copy of their magazine Living Naturally! The latest issue has a super simple chili recipe which we tried out last weekend. It's such a lazy man's recipe, but it cooks up great. The steps are basically -- cut up some stuff, throw into a pot, cook. Here's the skinny:

This makes four 1 ½ cup servings.

2 19 oz cans of red kidney beans, drained
1 large onion, diced (approx 2 cups)
1 yellow pepper, diced (approx 1 cup)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 28 oz can of tomatoes, chopped (with liquid)
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 ½ tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp cayenne (adjust to taste)
1 tsp salt

Now the fun part. In a large pot, add all ingredients. Mix ingredients, cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Difficult stuff, huh? Delicious, though.

Chilly when it's chili (wait, strike that, reverse it)
