What’s the perfect cold weather, comfort meal? I can’t think of anything better than a hot, steaming bowl of chili. Since the options are practically endless, I enlisted the help of some food blogger and Dietitian friends to share their best chili recipes. Chock full of veggies, beans, lean proteins, and healthy carbs like sweet potatoes, pumpkin, quinoa and even sorghum, chili is one of the most complete meals I can think of. Whether cooked on the stove or in a slow cooker, these chili recipes are healthy, comforting and oh so delicious!
