My motivation for this Heart Healthy Turkey & Sweet Potato Southwest Chili was to deliver a flavor packed hearty chili.
You know the kind even your manly man will eat. But packed full of nutrients without extra calories.
Because let’s face it, most of us don’t need empty calories and are perfectly happy as long as we’re satisfied. This chili is definitely satisfying.

I am smitten with this Sweet Potato Crust Veggie & Pesto Quiche.
It has the perfect balance of savory (hello pesto) with a hint of sweetness.
I’ve literally made five variations of it in the past several weeks, sharing it with friends & family along the way.
Rave reviews from all of my taste-testers!

These are Addicting Chili Cheese Sweet Potato Fries.
They are a hearty fill-you-up meal that eat like nachos. They also happen to be a fantastic way to use up your favorite leftover chili from the weekend.
And I call that winning!

This Sweet Potato Praline Cake is a combination of our favorite Praline Banana Nut Muffins and heavenly Sweet Potato Casserole with Brown Sugar & Pecans. I debated back and forth on what to name this coffee cake. The cake itself is sweet, yet in a subtle way and oh so moist. The praline topping is amazing. Definitely reminiscent of a favorite Thanksgiving side dish. I thought I’d let these pictures do most of the talking. Enjoy!

Baked Sweet Potato Fries are almost a staple for us. There’s something so addicting about the sweet heat that comes from the sweetness of the potato combined with the Cajun herb seasoning. Any time we’re having burgers or anything else that pairs well with fries, we’ll likely turn to these.

I love hash. Growing up in New England it wasn’t unusual for us to have Hash and Baked Beans with our eggs for breakfast (or dinner). I’m not really sure if that was common in all households or if it was just that Mom loved them both so much. This Pork & Sweet Potato Hash is a great way to use last night’s leftover pork.
