Fresh Slowcooking FSC Recipes for vegetarian

A slow cooker vegetarian meal inspired by the vibrantly coloured vegetables of the season and my friend who feels like she’s the the only one who likes beets and brussel sprouts. Delicately seasoned with Dijon, sherry, and rosemary the true goodness of the beets and ‘mini cabbages’ still shines.

Creamy squash and nutritious chick peas covered in warm Ethiopian spices create a vegetarian meal that will satisfy your hunger and make you feel warm and fuzzy all over.

Browning the onions before cooking them in your slow cooker gives this onion soup an almost smokey, roasted flavour that is guaranteed to warm you up. The addition of grated potatoes adds to the creamy, melt in your mouth texture. An easy alternative to French onion soup.

You don’t have to like eggplant to love this spicy and nutritious meal. Fresh tomatoes, basil, pepper and Romano cheese draw the best flavours out of the eggplant.

Fresh carrots, tomatoes and zucchinis combined with beans, rosemary, basil and parmesan create a hearty soup full of rich flavours. The leftovers are perfect for a hot lunch too, especially if your workplace is kept as cold as the inside of your fridge.

An easy tomato soup made with fresh Roma tomatoes and homegrown basil. No tomato peeling, no cream and no bread required. As an added bonus, cooked tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, a carotenoid that helps starve cancer cells.

An easy nutritious vegetarian soup that can be prepared in minutes. The carrots, green onions and spinach provide a tonne of vitamins while the lentils supply protein and iron. Add a little curry paste and now you have a healthy soup with some zing!

Wow — This week got off to a very hectic start! Maybe it was just the shock of getting back to work after spending a relaxing weekend with family. No complaints though, work is great. Today was one of those extremely rare days when I actually confirmed a result. Now I can focus on food! (for a tonight anyway…)

Recently I posted how to make homemade real whole grain cereal. It was so good and satisfying that we haven’t bought cereal since. Every Sunday I get to think up and prepare a new healthy concoction that we enjoy throughout the week for breakfast. This one is our favourite so far and I made it again last night.
