A fresh start

So after several months of neglect, I have decided to give this blog a new look, and a new theme. I never really liked my old blog title, so I'm trying this one out for size. I will probably mostly post healthy, tasty recipes I've discovered or invented, or other thoughts/info on food and science.
Here is my first recipe. I make this quite frequently and it is delicious, and very healthy. It's good with avocado or sour cream.

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 sweet potato
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbs chili powder (chili seasoning from a packet works well too)
2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chipotle
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups water
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 c canned tomatoes (I use roasted tomatoes with chilies)
2 tsp lime juice
2 tbs chopped cilantro (optional)

1) Heat oil in large sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and potato and cook until onion is softened, about 4 mins.
2) Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, and salt
3) Add water, bring to a simmer, cover and cook until potato is tender, 10-12 mins
4) Add beans, tomatoes, and lime juice
5) simmer 4 mins
6) remove from heat, add cilantro
7) top with sliced avocado or sour cream.
8) Enjoy!

note: I do not recommend adding cilantro to the whole pot, but to individual portions. The chili itself keeps well, but the cilantro gets a bit wilted and slimy after refrigeration.
