Full disclosure - it's a stock image of a sweet potato. I didn't even have any raw ones left. :)

​January is often when we reset our wellness goals. So with that in mind, this week on the blog hop, we’re sharing recipes for quick and healthy winter weather meals.

I made this one recently, and it was delicious. I should have taken a photo of it to share, but of course I didn’t think that far ahead. Even the leftovers disappeared quickly!

It’s from my favourite cookbook series, Company’s Coming, and I found it in the appropriately named Healthy Slow Cooker. After all, what’s better in the winter than a warm and delicious meal made in a slow cooker?

SWEET POTATO CHILI
4 cups sweet potato, peeled and chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 can white kidney beans (I used red), rinsed and drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup broth (use vegetable if you want it vegetarian, but any would do)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cocoa, sifted if lumpy
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 ½ cup tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (I used a heavy sprinkle of dried)
Layer first four ingredients in order given in slow cooker.
Combine next six ingredients. Pour over beans. Do NOT stir. Cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours or on High 3 ½ to 4 hours.
Add tomato and parsley. Stir and serve.

When I make this again, I might add a little cumin, and I would definitely increase the salt. You could also experiment with adding different/more beans.

Now, hop over to Leslie Hachtel for another tasty recipe!
