OMG easy and oh so yummy! I found this recipe folder up and crunched in the back of my recipe box. Glad I did a little organizing and found it. The recipe calls for sautéing and cooking and boiling...forget that! Take all the ingredients and dump them into a crockpot and 6 hours later all you need is a blender for your perfect soup. (As shown in the picture my 2 1/2 year old daughter took...no joke)

There is nothing better than smelling a crockpot of chili cooking when you come in from the cold. This is so easy it is nearly shameful. The recipe is inspired from a college friend that gave me the recipe for Turkey Pumpkin Chili (thanks Beth). I replaced the Turkey with Morning Star Meat Crumble and I have fooled many folk into believing it was a meat chili...surprise!

Okay all you burger connoisseurs, here's one to try. My long time friend, Amanda, gave me this recipe. I have yet to follow a recipe to the letter, so I'll put it as it is written and anything I "tweeked" will have an asterisk next to it. Original Source: Pepperplate (www.pepperplate.com)

Oooo...like pasta, but hate that weighed down feeling? Try this vegetarian twist on spaghetti with meat sauce. Healthy and easy to make. Kids love to help make the "spaghetti". Source: Donna Hoffmeyer on a whim.
