What's For Dinner: Sweet Potato Chili


My intention for our Super Bowl dinner/snackathon was that I would eat a bowl of veggie chili while D chowed down on some homemade buffalo hot wings. Unfortunately, I filled up on too many pretzel dogs (look for a post on those later this week) and nachos. Long story short, this chili will be the feature of tonight's dinner hour instead.
