Whole30 Sweet Potato Chili

Can I just say I love chili!! Like seriously, who doesn't love a good hearty chili on a cool day. I've been fighting a darn cold and needed some warm goodness in my tummy! I should also add this was my first time making it, and we absolutely loved it!! Hubby wanted seconds and asked if there would be some in the freezer for him. That is a total win for me. Sometimes being a busy mom and trying to find recipes that please everyone can be tough. But hey, that's why I'm here sharing all the great ones we try!!

Alright here's a lil secret, I had never cooked with hot peppers before. Really. For many years I've been scared to cook with them! I had this funny anxiety that everything would turn out too hot!! Okay, now looking back, it was ridiculous. lol. the pic above....my very first chopped hot pepper. Proud new chef moment :)
