Tangy Vegan Crockpot Corn Chowder
This is a vegan and zingy version of a classic recipe that cooks up wonderfully in the slow cooker!
Grandpa's Tomato Gravy
This tomato gravy recipe was handed down from my Grandpa, who was born and raised in South Georgia. It is really a sauce (because there is no flour in it), but you can eat it for breakfast over biscuits, at room temperature like a soup at lunch, or the way we ate it at his house over rice with hoe cakes for dinner. It is simple to make but tastes so good. It keeps in the refrigerator for several days, and I think it tastes better the next day.
Lemon Herb Quinoa
A light yet flavorful quinoa dish that goes great with fish or chicken! I invented it on-the-fly one day when I couldn't find quite what I was looking for. For a stronger flavor, add extra lemon juice and herbs. For a more al dente quinoa, remove the lid half way through the cooking time and continue to cook uncovered until most of the water is absorbed.
