Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili from Super Seeds



Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili - Kim's Welcoming Kitchen




My new year started out with a bang! I was fortunate to get to share some healthy cooking with WGN TV on New Year's Day.  I made Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili from Super Seeds. This recipe is truly one of my favorites. It's quick to come together, it's nutritious, and it's really delicious. In case you didn't get to see it, I'm sharing the recipe here, too. Also, here's a link to my segment.

    1. Thanks, Alisa! Here in the Midwest, it's been chilly to say the least, so this chili (pardon the pun!) has really warmed us up!
