Chard, Lentil & Potato Slow Cooker Soup Recipe What’s your favorite cookbook? I own a ton of cookbooks, but if I had to choose the one I use the most often in my kitchen, it’s Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson. This is the book that has notes scrawled all over the pages and food spatters on the most frequently used recipes. If you’re a vegetarian and you own a slow cooker, you should really buy this book! The thing I love about it is that the recipes are mostly unfussy. When I was working full-time and going to library school full-time (yeah, that happened), I worked my way through a good half of the recipes in this cookbook. This recipe is adapted from a kale and lentil soup that’s in Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker. It’s not super fancy, it’s not a show-stopper, but it’s a delicious, hearty soup for a chilly fall evening.

Slow Cooker Lentil Cauliflower Stew - Vegan GF Recipe A few weeks ago, my friend Catherine McCord sent me a copy of her new cookbook, Weelicious. I met Catherine at the BlogHer Conference in Seattle this past summer. I immediately knew she was destined for great things. She is passionate about her blog, and she’s really dedicated herself to creating healthy food options for busy families on the go. Catherine’s site Weelicious is super successful, and I’m sure her new cookbook will be, too. When the weather begins cooling down and the skies are overcast, there’s nothing quite like a slow cooker meal to warm the tummy and comfort the spirit.

The Colors Of Indian Cooking: Time Out For Fun, Easy Slow Cooker Soup. Plus A Giveaway One of my earliest soup memories is of split pea soup. Split pea soup in a can from a place called Pea Soup Andersons in Buellton California. Now if you've never heard of Buellton California, it's a little town off the 101 on the way from San Francisco to LA. It's familiar to every kid who ever rode in the back seat of their parent's car on the way from San Francisco to Disneyland. But back to pea soup and Pea Soup Andersons specifically. "This is how we did it during the war!" "Daddy, no!!!!!!!!!!!!" Stopping was not an option. Flash forward a few years (the '80s) I had a car of my own, stopping became an option, and pretty soon Pea Soup Andersons became a regular pit stop on my car trips between family in Northern California and home in LA. One stormy Christmas, driving back from San Francisco to LA in driving rain Alan and I decided to make our usual stop at Pea Soup Andersons. As things started to clear, we paid the tab and hit the road once again. Here's What You Need:
