Super Bowl Vegan Chili Recipes: One Cooked, One Raw

Super Bowl Vegan Chili Recipes: One Cooked, One Raw

Douglas McNish, head chef of Toronto’s Raw Aura organic and raw restaurant is back to share one of his original raw, vegan recipes. (Actually, this week he’s giving us two versions of chili: One cooked, one raw.) Watch for more of his recipes, published twice a month on Blisstree.

Doug says: This is a delicious dish on a cold winter’s night (including Super Bowl Sunday). It’s high in iron and protein, and the recipe can be doubled to make some extra to have on hand. It goes very well with my recipe for cashew sour cream. It’s enough for a family dinner, or good to have to snack on throughout the week. More »

Regardless, here’s our gallery of ten vegetarian recipes for your Super Bowl Sunday party. Each one’s a TD (touchdown). More »

Not Watching the Game? What to Do on Super Bowl Sunday

On average, 100 million people tune into the Super Bowl every year. Last year, it was estimated that 153.1 million viewers caught a portion of the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy (even if it was just to watch the halftime show). This year, fans will watch the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers in Arlington, Texas on Sunday, February 6th. With so much pomp and circumstance (and profit) built around one game, it’s nearly impossible to avoid the hype and excitement. But whether or not you’re a football fan, there are plenty of ways to celebrate Super Bowl Sunday that don’t involve actually watching men in tight pants tossing around a pigskin: More »
