being cook: Spicy Sweet Potato Chili
Baby it's cold outside! Finally! I feel like it took ages for it to get cold in NYC this year. I mean....I'm definitely not complaining, but there hasn't even been a decent snow. Winter has shown up this week.
When it's cold outside, I love to bundle up and make a yummy, comforting chili. I'm so excited to partner with Lagostina to share my Spicy Sweet Potato Chili Recipe today! This is just the ticket for those cold days when you want to tune into Netflix and chill (in a warm way!) and eat something extra yummy. Recipe below.
But wait! There's more! You can win this gorgeous Lagostina Stewpot! Find out how to enter via my Instagram right here.
This pot makes cooking stews and soups so easy. It's stainless-steel and specially designed for simmering dishes. It's curved bottom prevents sticking and flared sides facilitate mixing and water absorption.
The double-walled design retains moisture and heat, so the Lagostina Stewpot is ideal for oven-to-table serving. It's also perfect for making risotto, too. (I'm have to try that out!) The stewpot is so attractive...which is always a bonus in my book. It's a nice addition to your table.
I hope you stay warm during this beautiful season. Christmas is coming oh so soon!
