I am fortunate enough to have a copy of Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just for You
This recipe is a little different from most that you've seen this month, because it has some comforting Fall herbs and a delicious dose of garlic. Not only that, this pasta is super easy to make, much like a lot of recipes in this cookbook. There are a set of ingredients that you put in at the beginning of the day, and a couple more before serving, and you're set! The smell of garlic, rosemary and thyme had my whole family salivating.
Another recipe that I tried from this book was the Creamy Tomato Basil Bisque. I'm a total sucker for Tomato Bisque, in general, but you throw in the ease of using a slow cooker and some basil? I'm all yours. Of course, I kind of messed this up by forgetting that I was cooking it, so I REALLY slow cooked the tomatoes. But, you know what? It tasted great anyway. Success!
Another recipe in this book that I want to try out is the Chocolate Pumpkin Brownie Breakfast Quinoa! (WHAT?!) Plus the Lavender Rose Valentine Cocoa, the White Bean Quinoa Gumbo and so many more, sound incredible. The photos are by my friend and extremely talented photographer, Kate Lewis, and they are absolutely drool-worthy.

A creamy, cheezy butternut squash macaroni with warm Fall seasonings. This slow cooker recipe will make your kitchen smell amazing!
Ingredients
Morning Ingredients:
- 1 ½ C . Cubed Butternut Squash or Other Winter Squash
- ½ C . Chopped Tomatoes
- 1 ½ C . Water
- 3 3-inch Fresh Thyme or 1 ½ tsp. Dried Thyme
- 1 2-inch Fresh Rosemary or ½ tsp. Dried Rosemary
For the Evening Ingredients:
- ¼ C . Nutritional Yeast Flakes
- ½ C to 1 . Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk
- 1 ½ C . Uncooked Whole-Wheat Macaroni
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Instructions
In the morning:
- Add the morning ingredients to the slow cooker (1.5-2 Qt. Slow Cooker). Cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.
Thirty to 45 minutes before serving:
- Puree the contents of the slow cooker in a blender with the nutritional yeast and ½ C. of the Non-Dairy Milk. Add the mixture back into the slow cooker and turn it up to high. Stir in the macaroni, cover, and cook for 20 mins.
- Stir well and add more milk if the sauce is getting too thick. Cook for 15 to 25 minutes more or until the pasta is al dente. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Make sure to check on the pasta every 10 minutes or so until you get good at gauging how fast it will cook in your slow cooker. It cooks faster in the smaller slow cooker.

This book is so needed for my husband and I as I try to convince him that vegan is the way to go.
I would feed myself and my mother 🙂
Definitely will love to try doing this recipe with it 😀
I would use them to feed my sons
i would feed myself! Sounds Absolutely yummy!
My son is slowly becoming interested in more vegan dishes. I'd be getting him and myself after we are gone 10 hours a day. This book would be wonderful.
I would feed myself and a lucky dinner companion.
Me and my husband. My daughter is still in a spaghetti or PBJ 24/7 phase, so I'm not sure she'd be keen on anything else at this point.
I would feed myself with this cook book....I love having leftovers for easy meals! I just received a crockpot too!
I have heard so many good things about this book already. I really want to start using my slow cooker more because I feel like it would make dinner so easy for me and the hubby!
I would use this for myself and my husband!
I'd use the recipes to fee me and my kids when my husband is away!
I would use this cookbook to feed me and my hubby er my mom-law and other when they come and visit!
I would use this for meals with me and my hubby!
I only ever use my slow cooker for larger meals/ catering. I really should use it more for myself and Jacques. Yay for sources of inspiration!
Need to feed my man and I
Need to feed my son and grandson
I would use this book to cook for myself and my husband. I like that it will make small amounts but could also be doubled or tripled if necessary.
