Yesterday Hailey had her friend, Grace, over to play for the afternoon. Like always, the girls had a blast. We hit up the play set then moved on to playdoh<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n then finished up with playing a crazy few rounds of THE BEST GAME EVER. And yes, my child was in jammies all day.<\/p>\n Back to the best game ever. HIDE AND SEEK. Seriously adults, why did we ever stop playing it? It\u2019s been our go-to game around here recently and we often play in teams. Our hiding places have upgraded from crouching behind a couch to hiding in cabinets and other sneaky places\u2026<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I’m thinking next time we have friends over, we need to have an epic round of hide and seek. I already know all the good spots after all!<\/p>\n Great, right? But what does this have to do with chili?<\/p>\n Because you know what really grinds my gears? When mom (ME) has to stop playing to go make dinner. I love cooking but playing a game with the whole family really can\u2019t be beat. Some days I wish dinner would just cook itself. And thanks to the wonderful crockpot, some days it does!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Now crockpot meals are a favorite for everyone, right? There is nothing like tossing it all in then coming home to a fragrant house with dinner ready to go. This sweet potato and black bean chili is a winner, not only because it\u2019s a hearty vegetarian meal, but because it truly is one of those toss-it-all-in-and-forget-it meals\u2026 well, except for the beans. Those go in at the end.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be upfront that the prep work does take 20-30 minutes, but you could easily do that the night before.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n By the way, did you know there was another can besides Eden Organic that has BPA-free cans?<\/p>\n
