Sweet potato chili in a crockpot

Don't let the title fool you... this is so good!

3 sweet potatoes sliced

1/2 onion, chopped up

1 cup green, red, yellow peppers chopped up (super small if your kids don't like them)

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

1 can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)

chili powder (add according to your taste buds)

1 cup water

1/2 cup orange juice

a dash of liquid smoke (optional)

Dump in the crockpot and stir a bit. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Top with cheese or sour cream if you want, but it is delicious on its own. We served this tonight with sabotage bread that LESLIE made! Yippee!!!

Easy breakfast pie

I threw this together this morning. It was fast (5 minutes prep, 30 minutes in the oven), yummy, and everyone wanted more and licked their plates instead...

1 pie crust

Mix together:

1/2 bag of frozen mixed berries thawed in microwave

1 granny smith apple chopped up

4 granola bars crushed up (save 2 for topping)

1/2 large carton of vanilla yogurt

Fill unbaked pie crust with a mixture of every ingredient. Top with 2 more granola bars. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or so. Enjoy deliciousness.
