This Slow Cooker Cauliflower Lentil Curry is perfect if you’re short on time to make dinner. Simply toss everything into the slow cooker and let the ingredients simmer together into this delicious, creamy curry. We recommend using the low-fat coconut milk, and if you don’t have lentils around you can substitute them for chickpeas.
Optional toppings: Minced cilantro, lime juice, chili flakes, chopped peanuts, or cashews
*Light coconut milk is a low-fat alternative. You may also substitute for unsweetened, unflavored soy or nut milk, cow’s milk (for non-vegan), or you may dilute regular coconut milk with water (i.e. 2/3 cup coconut milk + 1/3 cup water for a recipe that calls for 1 cup)
Directions
Prepare your vegetables and add them to the crockpot or slow cooker.
Then, add in the lentils, coconut milk, curry paste, lime juice, and vegetable broth or water.
Using a wooden spoon, mix in the seasonings.
If you’re setting your cooker to low heat, allow it to cook for 7-8 hours, but if you’re cooking on high, allow it to cook for 4-6 hours. If possible, you can stir it about halfway through.
Once it is done cooking, taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Serve with rice or naan bread and optional toppings and enjoy!

Homemade Strawberry Jam that doesn’t require anything special out of three simple ingredients, a whisk, and optionally, a kitchen thermometer. Since berries have a naturally occurring pectin, we don’t have to worry about thickening agents. Although, the slower and lower temperature you cook your jam, the better your results are. Spread this jam on toast, an English muffin, or pair it with pancakes.
Ingredients
Homemade Strawberry Jam
1 lb. strawberries, leaves and core removed
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Directions
Prepare your strawberries. You can hull out the center by using a straw, or chopping the strawberries down the center and removing the stem and its core.
In a sauce pan, add the strawberries and set the heat to medium high. Add in the sugar and stir frequently, bringing the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, add in the lemon juice and reduce heat to medium/medium-low. Cook for 15-25 minutes or until the mixture reaches 220ºF.
When the jam is done, add to clean glass jars and seal tightly with a lid. Immediately add to the refrigerator and allow it to cool overnight.
Serve and enjoy.
Store your jam in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.

Vegan Pasta & Meatballs made using Beyond Meat’s pre-shaped meatballs. These meatballs are high in plant-based protein, do not contain soy, gluten, or GMOs. Served with onion, pepper, and zucchini marinated in tomato sauce and the pasta of your choice. If you’re gluten-free, you can use a gluten-free pasta to substitute.
In a large pan, begin boiling water and preparing your pasta. If you’re using gluten-free pasta, those tend to have a faster cook time so plan accordingly.
Begin chopping your vegetables and set them aside.
According to the Beyond meatballs package, preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low to medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 7-8 minutes, continuously turning. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
In a saucepan or large skillet, add the olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, begin sauteing your vegetables. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Add the tomato sauce, seasoning, and meatballs to the pan. Stir well.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Strain your pasta from the water.
Serve meatballs, sauce, and vegetables with pasta, and enjoy!
