Recipe

Crockpot Lentil Sausage Stew

The pic above is my crockpot with the following ingredients: 

Olive oil, 1 celery, 1 onion, 3 cloves garlic, 2 carrots, 1 potato, 1 can cooked brown lentils, 2 vegan apple-sage sausages, 3 Tb tomato paste, rosemary, sage, thyme, a pinch of sugar, 1/2 tsp cumin, salt, pepper, a splash of vinegar and mushroom broth to cover.

After cooking on high for about 5-6 hours, the end result was this delicious stew that was so perfect! I didn’t have to tweak anything at the end.

Nachos

Glorious nachos I made the other day with the cheese sauce from Hot For Food on YouTube. 

So delish!
