chocolate chili
You are probably thinking, "Chocolate in chili? No thanks." I was skeptical, too. But it turns out, it is just the right amount of cocoa that makes this chili unique. This soup is perfect for your January Whole 30 or just for an easy dinner on a cold winter's night. You can add your favorite veggies or use beef instead of turkey. It is a flexible recipe that you can easily be made your own. It also freezes well, which is a major plus for our family as we plan for the January Whole 30 and I need weekday meals that I can pull out of the freezer in a pinch. I hope it warms your home as it has ours!
