Cozy Bowls
Colder weather and shorter days have us craving all the cozy bowls, including this sweet potato chili. It is so hearty, comforting and easy to make in either your Instant Pot or Slow Cooker. You can really use either and enjoy the ease of prepping and setting to cook. You save time with the Instant Pot but if you prep all the ingredients in advance, tossing them in either and then setting the machine and going about your day is simple enough.
Meal Prep
We tend to gravitate toward recipes that are either super quick and easy to make (like on the table in under 30 minutes) or recipes that are great for meal prepping. This Paleo + Whole30 sweet potato chili is a great meal prep recipe. You can prep the ingredients in advance and toss everything in the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker in the morning. Or, and this is probably our favorite, make it for dinner on Sunday and then have the leftovers in the fridge going into the work week. You can pack it for lunch at work or have another easy dinner already made and ready to heat up.
Sweet Potato Or Winter Squash
If you follow along with us regularly, you’ve probably read about how I don’t digest potatoes very well, primarily white potatoes but even sweet potatoes can be a little rough for me. Every once in a while sweet potatoes do sound especially delicious and I will splurge and enjoy some, but when I’m not feeling up to it we just swap the sweet potato in this recipe for winter squash and it turns out just as wonderful. We typically use either delicata or butternut squash and just cube it – it’s usually about one delicata or half of a butternut squash that feels like the right amount to use.
