Crockpot Callaloo Soup from Robin Robertson

Today’s post is part of a blog tour for Robin Robertson’s latest book “Fresh From the Vegan Slowcooker”. Most of you are probably familiar with this author as she is practically the queen of vegan cuisine with more than 20 cookbooks under her belt (two of my favorites being Vegan Planet and Vegan Fire and Spice).

“Fresh From the Vegan Slowcooker”  is amazingly helpful for those of us who adore their slowcookers, and especially for those of us who often rely on crockpots to get a ton of food on the table almost effortlessly. Robin and her publisher have been very kind to share this delightful recipe for Crockpot Callaloo Soup with us. I happily devoured an entire recipe’s worth of the Callaloo Soup all by myself this past week… truly delicious.

 Enjoy!

Pumpkin Alfredo

Out of my crazy cat lady-like obsession with pumpkin (and, who am I kidding? all things orange) during the Autumn months, came this gem of a simple dinner. This pasta/pumpkin combo may not sound too appealing for some folks , but each and every person I served this stuff to absolutely loved it.

Pumpkin. Alfredo.

It is utterly delicious.

Apricot Nut Roll Cookies

Every single year, for as far back as I can remember, my mother makes a rugelach type cookie which she (and what I presume every member of her extended family) calls simply a “nut roll”. I haven’t had her rugelach in quite some time because it has all kinds of things in it that I just don’t do; but every year around this time, I start to crave it like nobody’s business.

So, starting in Autumn I begin to make a bunch of cookies of this “rugelach” type… pretty much all the way until January (when I start cursing winter and planning my move to the tropics). This version is not overly sweet and they are kinda big. You could share one… if you were really desperate to be a nice person. But this recipe makes quite a few cookies, so there’s no need to get all crazy…

Spiced Apple Galette

Autumn is officially on its way, and with it comes chills in the air, vibrant colors in the trees, great camping weather, the perfect excuse to overuse nutmeg in everything, and of course, plenty of apples. Because of these things (and Halloween!), Autumn is without a doubt the season I most look forward to. I like to pretend that Summer is my favorite (and I love to gripe about being cold)… but I cannot deny the excitement I feel when I notice the leaves begin to fall. I have already busted out my corduroys…

From Labor Day to Thanksgiving, I like to take advantage of the glorious bounty that Autumn brings. Brace yourself folks, I’m about to stretch this season out as long as I possibly can. Starting now.

Hope you all like apples, pumpkins, black cats, and mulling spices… because it may get a little ridiculous around here.

Let’s kick off this early tribute to Fall with a little gluten-free galette, shall we? Truly a great way to say “bye bye” to summer and “how do you do?” to Autumn-like comfort food.
