Bison Sweet Potato Chili

Say hello to my little friend:

Bison Sweet Potato Chili. 

There are almost no words for this one... A hint of spicy, a hint of sweet... It is good enough that I have been making this and eating it weekly, and it is Summer time here.

Truly, if I could marry a meal, this would be it. 

 MmmmHmmm. That good.

Awwww yeeeeah. Shit just got real. Let's dive right in.

Here's what you need:

• 1/2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
• 1 lb pound ground bison 
• 1 lb 90-93% lean ground beef
• 1 diced onion 
• 2 bell peppers, chopped  
• 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes 
• 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes, not drained 
• 1.5 cups beef stock 
• 1.5 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced 
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar (optional) 
• 1 Tbsp chili powder 
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp sea salt 
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

1. Cook ground meats thoroughly in large pot, until no longer pink. Add onion and  peppers and cook 3 minutes.
2. Add all other ingredients and stir well.  
3. Cover and reduce heat to low or a slight simmer. Cook 45 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender enough to stick a fork through. Taste test and add more seasoning to taste, if needed.  Serve and enjoy!

NOTE: If you like your chili a bit thicker, go ahead and thicken it up a bit with some cornstarch and cold water. 😉

Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

It doesn't get any easier than this one, folks. For real, you could have this thrown together in your crock pot faster than you can call for take out. Tho you need to plan ahead for it to cook for a couple hours after that. But seriously, the crock pot does all the cooking for you. Try it. Tryyyy iiiiit. You will not be disappointed!

You will need:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1 1/2 jars of organic salsa
• 1/2 Tbsp chili powder *optional- If you used a spicy salsa, you may not need this. 

That's it! Say whaaaaaat?

Throw the chicken into the crock pot. Pour 1 1/2 jars of salsa on top. Mix it around a bit, cover up and set on low for 6 to 8 hours. When it's finished cooking, shred the chicken. You can also top with a little shredded cheese. DELISH!

The choice is yours and yours alone...

Each and every morning when you roll over and open your eyes, you have 2 choices. You can go back to sleep and continue dreaming your dreams, or you can rub the sleep from your eyes, put your feet on the floor, GET UP, and chase your dreams. No one is going to go catch your dreams and place them in front of you wrapped with a pretty bow. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM HAPPEN! No matter what today throws at you, MAKE today GREAT. The choice is always yours. Love and light, my friends!
