Sweet Potato Quinoa Chili

For lunches this week I prepared a batch of this Sweet Potato & Quinoa Chili.  It's a vegan chili that is easy and fast to throw together.  It is a large recipe - enough where my husband and I can both have about 3 to 4 days' worth of lunches from it.  It is really flavorful and good.  Perfect for a chilly week outside.  Not to mention - pretty healthy.

BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad

 
I have never cooked with quinoa but tried it in Peru and really liked it.  I bought a bag and sought some recipes that call for it.  I found one on Pinterest that sounded right up our alley.  I made this BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad last night and it is delicious!  I made the BBQ chicken in the crock pot all day and then the rest was easy to throw together after work.  I definitely recommend this as a pretty healthy dish to make - but don't plan on it feeding more than 2 of you.
