Slow Cooker Harvest Stew

I made this harvest stew last week and my husband LOVED it.  It's really yummy.  I'll definitely make again -- probably next fall!

 
 
Harvest Stew (Slow Cooker)

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped in ½ inch chunks

1 medium yam, peeled and chopped in ½ inch chunks

3 large carrots, peeled and diced ½ inch thick

1 cup chopped onions

1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped

2 pound boneless pork loin cut into 1 inch cubes

¼ cup flour

¾ t salt

½ t sage and thyme

1 T sugar

¼ t pepper

2 cups apple cider

 

Layer the potatoes, yams, carrots, onions, apples, and pork loin in a slow cooker.  Stir flour and seasonings together in a small bowl. 


Add cider to flour mixture and stir until mixed.


Pour over meat and vegetables.  Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours.

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.
