Sweet Potato&Black Bean Crockpot Chili

When I am meal planning for the upcoming week, I try to include at least one vegetarian meal. Not only is it cheaper, but there are a lot of yummy recipes! It was kind of challenging at first because S&  I are both meat lovers.

 But he's been letting me experiment and he's been enjoying it! 

Yay me!!
