Vegan Quinoa Sweet Potato Chili

2013_02_26bAs far as chilis go, this was not my favorite. However, not comparing it to chili and judging it on its own, this was really good. We all really liked it. Between the sweet potatoes, beans, and quinoa it was very filling and rich with flavor. The quinoa texture balanced the mushiness of the sweet potatoes and the avocado on top really made it sing. I paired it with a salad with pecans and strawberries. Not bad eating. Now for dessert. Vegan cupcakes!

This was my mom’s birthday dinner. And before you think, “Oh, that’s so nice you cooked for you mom,” I should tell you her birthday was three months ago in August. But we still tried to make it special. Everything I made was from Cooking Light and all very good, except the spinach was a little lame in my opinion. It was good, but not great. This is probably my favorite pork tenderloin recipe I’ve tried so far too. So good, and soooo easy.
