Recipe: Sweet-Hot Vegan Pumpkin Soup
Sweet-Hot Vegan Pumpkin Soup If you like your pumpkin with punch, then have I got a crock-pot soup for you! This is a recipe I found in a non-vegetarian crockpot book and featured on my former blog back in 2007 . The pumpkin soup is tasty enough to re-feature here. The slow cooker recipe was easy to veganize–I replaced the chicken broth with vegetable broth, and the three tablespoons honey became three tablespoons agave nectar.Totally addicting bar snack or nutritious side dish? You decide. I am completely fine with it being both. Incidentally, Desmond loves this as much as Paul and I do. We tend to eat it with our fingers before dinner.

Vegetarian Irish Stew I can’t believe how busy I’ve been lately. A huge work project came to fruition–finally!–so I’m hoping the craziness will calm down a bit. One of the things I hate about being so busy–aside from the lack of blogging time–is that I tend to get lazy in the kitchen.
