After studying at the French Culinary Institute in NYC, Lo knew she wanted to share her traditional comfort foods, but make them better for the body.
As the months get colder, we’re cozying up in the kitchen with these 3 recipes. You can find them (and more!) in Lo’s Book, Love Yourself Well.
Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Brownies
INGREDIENTS
-
1-2 sweet potatoes
-
1 organic free-range egg
-
⅓ cup melted coconut oil
-
1 cup cassava flour
-
⅓ cup King Arthur’s Baking Sugar Alternative
-
1 tsp. salt
-
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
HOW TO
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
-
Stick 1-2 sweet potatoes with a fork a few times so they don’t explode in the oven, and roast for 45-60 min.
-
Lower the oven to 375°F.
-
Peel the skin for the sweet potatoes, using a kitchen towel to protect your hands from the heat, and discard the skin. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.

Mix wet ingredients (eggs, melted coconut oil, sweet potatoes) together in one bowl.
-
Mix the dry ingredients (cassava flour, sugar, and salt) together in another bowl.
-
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.

Great a bread pan (a 1-pound loaf pan works), pour in mixture, and bake for 45 minutes.
White Bean Turkey Chili
Serves: 4-6
INGREDIENTS
-
1 tsp. oregano
-
1 ½ tsp. cumin
-
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
-
1 tbsp. salt
-
½ tsp. pepper
-
2 tbsp. avocado oil
-
1 pound ground turkey
-
1 yellow onion
-
2 cans white beans (cannellini)
-
1 can diced green chiles, drained

1 bunch green onions
HOW TO
-
In a small bowl, combine all the spices, salt, and pepper. Put half of the seasoning in a separate bowl to the side.
-
In a large sauté pan, heat up 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Season the turkey and onion with half of the spice mixture and brown in the pan until the turkey is no longer pink and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
-
In a slow-cooker, combine the cooked turkey mixture, white beans, green chiles, chicken broth, and remaining seasoning and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
-
Once the chili has cooked, spoon into bowls and garnish with slices of green onion.
