Quinoa, Bean, Sweet Potato, Broccoli & Brussel Sprout Stew

Yesterday I was craving chili, but I wanted to use some of the veggies we had lurking around, so I decided to make more of a tomato based stew and it turned out pretty dang good, so without further adieu I bring you: Quinoa, Bean, Sweet Potato, Broccoli & Brussel Sprout Stew.

  Notes

  1. Topped with crushed tortillas, avocado, nutritional yeast, siracha, and or Greek yogurt. Side note: In the pick above I added a handful of spinach to up the veggie factor, but that's just because I got nervous the spinach was going to go bad before we had a chance to eat it. Bottom line: spinach is optional.

Another exciting fall food that made it's way into my life yesterday, was the granny smith smoothie: Here is the recipe for this gem:
