ZAM invited me (and by extension, all of you) to a New Year’s Dinner!
You can “choose your own dinner adventure” from appetizers, soup, salad, main dish and dessert, but those of you who visit and comment at each and every blog will be entered into a drawing for one of three (3) $35.00 gift cards to the venue of your choice: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or All Romance Ebooks.
Plus, some individual authors might include a private drawing for those people who stop by. So read, drink and be merry! Happy New Year from all of us, at the M/M Writers’ Buffet!

Dinner starts on 12/31/14 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern. Winners will be chosen randomly Jan 6, 2015. Only those who comment on EVERY blog will be chosen for the drawing.
In addition to ZAM’s prizes, I’m also offering up a ebook from my backlist for a random commenter on my post.
I thought long and hard about which recipe I should post for this dinner. In the end, I chose my chili recipe, for a number of reasons. First of all, it’s something I could see just about any of my characters making – it’s simple, easy, and not gourmet, so it fits most of my guys. I like for all those reasons, and also because I’m lactose intolerant, I have a glucose allergy, and I’m trying my best to be vegan. This recipe hits all those points (minus the cheese) and it’s tasty. So, I hope you enjoy.
1 lg can diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 green pepper, seeded & chopped
chili seasoning (I recommend Tabasco brand chili starter)
2 cups frozen cornPut everything except the corn into either a crockpot or a large pot. In the crockpot, cook on low for 7-8 hours. In a regular pot, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the frozen corn and continue to simmer until heated through. Serve and top with shredded cheese and hot sauce as desired.
In case anyone was interested, this is in my crockpot right now for tonight 🙂
I have everything except the corn on hand. Sounds delicious.
I love chili and using the crockpot – so this recipe is perfect! Thanks and Happy 2015!

Even though I am a confirmed carnivore it sounds delicious. I know it is hard to work around food allergies as I have to work around them with family members. Happy New Year
I love chili! I’m actually planning to cook chili starting early tomorrow. It’s supposed to be VERY cold and wet, so chili is perfect (with a little cornbread).

Chilli is my #1 go to meal during the year. I even cook it in the summer if I am craving it, I don’t know many people who add corn but my family has been doing it since I was little and I love it. Nice recipe

Half my family is vegetarian so this chili will go over well.
I love chilli and Crock Pot meals.

Ohmygosh! Thank you for posting a vegetarian entree! We love chili, and yours sounds very easy and tasty – I often don’t make it because I don’t want to take the time to chop up all the hot peppers and stuff. I think I’ll try yours next time!
I love chili! It’s so fun to try different ways to spice it up.
Chili is great for busy nights!
