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

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

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

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

By the way, did you know there was another can besides Eden Organic that has BPA-free cans?<\/p>\n

Anyway, the chili. It\u2019s spicy, filling and packed full of fresh veggies and satiating beans. With fall weather around the corner, add it to your \u2018must try\u2019 list and report back with what you think. Personally, I\u2019m a big fan!<\/p>\n
