Slow Cooker Baked Apples

Slow Cooker Baked Apples

My personal feeling is that baked apples are usually quite a bit sweeter than they need to be. So, here you have this very simple, barely sweet version – with warm, fragrant spices, and just a touch of oats!

Winter Stew with Potatoes, Barley, and Lentils

My father-in-law was reminiscing a few years ago about a family dish his mom used to make when he was a little boy. It was a stew, he recalled in great detail, with beef, beans, and root vegetables. He posed … Read more

Best Split Pea Soup

This recipe has a long history, and goes back several decades. My mom made a wonderful split pea soup, and when I was growing up, it was always one of my favorites. She would top it with “buttered toast squares” … Read more

Cranberry, Apple, and Pear Slow Cooked Crumble

As a great fan of desserts that practically make themselves, this recipe is among my favorites.

It’s a medley of winter fruits, and really shines around the holidays because it features the beauty and flavor of whole fresh cranberries. These … Read more

Chai-Spiced Steel Cut Oats

My mighty slow cookers (of almost every size) continue to get a heavy workout during Michigan’s ultra-cold winter months.

A few weeks ago, I shared one of my favorite reasons – Breakfast Bean And Tofu Burritos – inspired by Kathy … Read more

Breakfast Bean and Tofu Burritos

My slow cooker and I have been pretty good friends for a long time, but I’m head-over-heals in love with it now, thanks to Kathy Hester’s newest book, Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just for You.

As a … Read more

Spicy Chana Masala

Chana Masala is the name of a slightly spicy chickpea stew, and also refers to the name of the complex spice blend used to make that dish. A big thank-you goes to my sister-in-law Janet, for sharing her recipe with … Read more


Best Veggie Chili

Image 2 Comments October 17, 2012 Vicki Brett-Gach

Preparing soups and stews is so therapeutic, and one of my favorite comfort foods during Michigan’s coldest months is this three-bean chili.

Not only is this chili spicy, it’s layered with deep, satisfying flavor. It’s probably even better the next … Read more

We just spent 3 nights in a hotel in Traverse City and stayed completely oil free WFPB - with homemade food - for every meal while we were there. It took just a little bit of planning. Brought my @zavoramerica pressure cooker, to prepare the best-ever mashed potatoes 🥔 plus @zavoramerica induction burner and sauté pan, to make sautéed greens 🥬 (with a shallot and riced cauliflower). Also brought with us leftover cooked whole wheat pasta and homemade pasta sauce 🍝along with frozen batch-prepped red lentil and black bean soup that I had stored in my @soupercubes (which also helped keep everything cold in the cooler on our drive too). We just mixed and matched all of those ingredients plus @foodforlifebaking Ezekiel English muffins, @kitehillfoods cream cheese and lots of fresh fruit for the most delicious combinations! Shout out to @zestplantbasedkitchen for their awesome breakfast/lunch to take with us for the drive back home to Ann Arbor!l 💚
