*Recipe Review* Crock Pot Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili

Healthy Haul from Earthfare today!  My favorite food product ever is hidden in this picture.  Will reveal in Favorite Things Thursday.
After the long drive home from work today, I needed some healthy comfort food, so chili sounded awesome to me.  Other blog friends have liked this recipe, so I thought I'd give it a try.  The recipe can be found here at skinnytaste.com .  I made a few omissions and substitutions to suit my taste and healthy eating philosophy.
Omissions:  sour cream and chives (I avoid dairy whenever possible.  As my 8 year says, "Momma gets all weird when she eats dairy."  No intentional avoidance of chives, just didn't have any.)   Additions:  red pepper flakes and some brown sugar.  I like my chili spicy hot, baby.
Salad was the perfect accompaniment:  organic baby spring mix with fresh tomatoes from our garden and Newman's Own Olive oil and vinegar.
After a little tweaking I liked the recipe.  Before the tweaks it tasted rather bland to me.  Also could have used some salt, but I avoided adding any because I assumed the beans had a mountain load already.  It definitely hit the spot for healthy comfort food.
