Sweet Potato & Chickpea Stew
Even on a warm afternoon like it was today in Los Angeles, this stew hit the spot!
The spices and veggies in the dish came together so nicely. The best part is that this was all made in a slow cooker, can you say Easy?!
If you need me, I’ll be over here pretending it’s fall.
