I’m not sure if this dish can actually qualify as a “hash” necessarily, but it sounds a lot cooler and hip than “sweet potatoes with corn and black beans.” Anyway, it’s really delicious and healthy! It’s a great Fall Harvest side dish but can also be a meal… and with the help of the crockpot, [...]

My favorite part about lasagna is the layers. I purchased these ingredients planning to make traditional veggie enchiladas, but at the last minute, I decided to try something new and have fun with layers!
A special thanks to Jennifer of Veg*n Cooking because without her help I would have been stuck using a enchilada sauce from a can. [...]

I made this wonderful soup by accident. I threw all the ingredients in my crockpot on a whim one morning as I was headed out the door for a day of snowboarding. I came home cold and hungry and this soup hit the spot.
