It’s been a while since I’ve done a Whole30.  Three years, to be exact.  I remember this, because right after I finished it, I got pregnant with my youngest.  I really hope that’s a side effect that I skip this time!

I’ve spent the last two years overcoming my Hashimoto’s diagnosis, and then the last 8 months dealing with my Lyme disease diagnosis.  So while I’ve been focusing on overhauling my food habits and been eating pretty clean for the most part, I really needed to get strict after the holidays this year.  So hellooooo, Whole30.

The Whole30 really isn’t that different from my everyday diet, the biggest part being that I can’t have quinoa or sugar.  I don’t have a lot of sugar usually, but I do love maple syrup in my coffee.  So that hasn’t been super fun.

So since I’ve been cutting back on what I’m allowed to eat, I’ve been finding the most delicious recipes possible to make sure I don’t get bored.  I can tell you, this sweet potato Whole30 chili is the best meal that I’ve tried in a long time, and I love how easy it was.

You know it was good when both of the kids had second helpings.  And I may or may not have spotted one of them licking some off the table.  Boys will be boys.

While you can make this in either the crockpot or Instant Pot, I prefer the Instant Pot way.  It’s so much faster, the taste is delicious, and I love how tender everything gets in such a short period of time.  The result is perfection!
