(stove top version here) It's inexpensive, kid-friendly, freezer friendly and gluten-free. I knew this would adapt nicely for the slow cooker, and I was right! In fact, I think it's even better since the lean beef cooks longer and becomes very tender the longer it simmers. This makes a lot, so you'll get several meals out of it. Anytime you use ground beef in the crock pot, you'll need to brown it first on the stove. Set slow cooker to HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8.

Roasted Garlic Artichoke Spread With Fresh Oregano (Eat, Drink & Be Vegan) Recipe on WeGottaEat. Carrot Apple Ginger Soup. Yesterday, a few of you expressed interest for the Creamy Sweet Potato Bake recipe, so I thought, why not kick off the Meal Planning Week with this casserole dish? The rainy and gloomy weather suited it well too.
Sadly, it was a bust! It turned out bland and the flavours were just off. It had all the right components- kale, sweet potato, fusilli pasta, homemade bread crumbs, with plenty of creamy sauce, but they just didn’t add up for me. Strangely enough, Eric loved this casserole. I first saw Joy’s Carrot Apple Ginger Soup when I was in the depths of my flu, unable to speak or taste anything (except sugar).
But that soup never happened. It was a good idea in theory, but I was too sick to move let alone cook something. Yesterday, I was feeling rather energetic and this soup just had to be made.

Recipe For Spring Salad With Artichokes, Tuna, Mushrooms, and Thyme Vinaigrette. Healthy Spa Recipe For Breakfast Salmon Sausage Patties.
My healthy breakfast kick has left me dabbling in everything from savory oatmeal to smoothies to blueberry griddle cakes. But my favorite recipes have been the offbeat ones, the unconventional breakfasts that I'd never think to try if not for a creative chef recipe. Last week, I got hooked on a black bean-filled omelet; now, it's all about salmon sausage patties. I can't take credit for this concept (that goes to Chad Luethje, chef at the famed Miraval Resort & Spa), but these salmon-based sausages are low-carb, low-fat, gluten-free, and filling.
They're simply stunning on their own; the finely-diced texture and chili-cumin spices add a real sausage-like quality and flavor.
