Gluten Free Dinner - Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread

Today I delivered dinner to a friend who recently had a baby girl. She is gluten-free and vegetarian so I looked up some recipes online and got to cooking. The vegetarian chili I adapted from Gluten-Free Goddess's Butternut Chili and the cornbread from her Skillet Cornbread with Green Chilies. I made double and we had ourselves a gluten-free vegetarian meal as well. I will say that I prefer my Colorful Chili but I'm not sure if it's because of the meat or because of the multitude of spices. The cornbread was absolutely delicious! Super moist and I love the diced green chilies in it. So make your favorite chili and enjoy this recipe for gluten-free cornbread.
