Sweet Potato Chili over Couscous tops my list for super satisfying full-flavored meals. The spicy chipotle chili powder, smoky tomatoes, and naturally sweet yams over unassuming couscous are fantastic. With so much flavor- no one will miss the meat! From Holly Clegg’s trim&TERRIFIC® Too Hot in the Kitchen: Secrets to Sizzle At Any Age this book is as beautiful and fun to look at as it is to eat out of!
