CREAMY SWEET POTATO BACON CHOWDER (DAIRY FREE)

Please See Other Recipes

Brrrr! It has been colder than usual here in Northern California. After spending 6 weeks down in Mexico on my healing journey, I was literally shocked to come home to 30 degree weather. I’ve been snuggled up next to my little wood stove enjoying the holidays with my family, recovering and resting. I plan on sharing my experience of getting intensive treatment for Lyme disease but am taking some time to process and assimilate before I put my thoughts and feelings into words. Stay tuned!
Wishing you all infinite abundance and good health for the coming year. Hope you enjoy this sweet potato bacon chowder as much as we did!
