Notes

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH YOUR VEGAN CLASSIC CHILI?

Since I hosted a large group of people, for example, I served my Baked Tater Tots and my Vegan Oil-Free Cornbread Recipe. I made two large batches of each, and I made a giant salad as well. Another idea for a great side dish with chili is Chili and Lime Roasted Red Potatoes!
