I got to use my slow cooker again yesterday to make Bacon and Lentil Soup from the Simple Little Vegan Slow Cooker. When we got home, the room smelled so good! The bacon strips (Yves) in this soup give it an amazing smokey taste since it cooks all day. I threw in some aduki beans I had in the fridge and subbed out the cilantro for basil, oregano and rosemary. So delicious!! I also made a french baguette from Garden of Vegan to eat with the soup. Nothing beats dunking fresh bread into a good soup, it was my favourite part of the meal!
Some exciting news (for me at least, not my body)... Katie a.k.a Sam's Mom generously gave me a copy of Vecan Cupcakes Take Over the World, since she got another one for Christmas. I'm not making any cupcakes til Valentine's Day, but I cannot wait. I owe all future enjoyment of cupcakes to Katie :) Thanks so much!!

a free copy of Vegan Cupcakes!? how awesome is that! now rush over to my blog and answer my challenge (come on, you gotta know it!) and i can send you some more treats ;)
I tried...I really don't know! (After figuring out I didn't know, I googled, and still wasn't 100% sure)
hey! i randomly found your site googling "vegan peach blueberry cobbler" b/c i love that recipe from la dolce vegan too. i'm actually not vegan, but my partner is and he would love this blog.
just thought i'd say hey!
in case you know the answer, i'm trying to figure out if that recipe would be as good with frozen fruit since peaches and blueberries aren't in season right now.
Ohhhh, cupcakes...and soup...two of my favourite things in the world! Soups looks (and sounds) really tasty!
That soup looks delicious and healthy. I'd have a hard time waiting until Valentines Day! Which ones are you going to make? I think I might make myself the tiramisu cupcakes for VD (since I know there's no way in hell Marty ever would). :)
Wow that looks really yummy!
I absolutely love your blog, its terrific! I even put a link to your site on mine because I definitely think my readers will enjoy your content!
