Hi Kree, I made your sweet and hearty veg. chili recipe and it was excellent! I added more chili powder (about 1 T), salt, and extra honey and it was still amazing. I am East Indian, so my taste buds are shot from Indian food and I can't taste anything non-Indian unless I increase the herbs or spices. Anyway, just wanted to tell you that my extra picky cousin--a red meat eater--said it was great when she tried it. Great job!
