Sweet Potato Chili

Unlike typical meat-based chilis that are high in saturated fat, this version is a low fat nutritious treat and is high in protein, fiber, and cancer-fighting antioxidants. Enjoy it topped with avocado, cheese, or other palatable toppings. Either way, it is a perfect easy meal for a patient, survivor, or caregiver to prepare ahead of time and enjoy,
