"This is a great meal that we eat here often in the winter time. With some dark bread and maybe a salad it is a really hearty meal, though we have been known to eat just this for dinner. The recipe is adapted from Amy Dacyczyn's "The Complete Tightwad Gazette""

Ingredients: garlic powder, italian seasoning...

"This is a surprisingly filling, vegetarian, crock pot soup. It is very good, and easy to prepare the night before, or chop the veggies in advance and turn it on before you leave for work in the morning. Goes great with a crusty bread."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, dried basil...

"This recipe first appeared as part of a "meatless week-night meal" in the November, 2003 Bon Appetit. Originally posted by Mean Chef. Vegans can omit the yogurt."

Ingredients: ground cumin, cucumbers...

"This soup is easy to put together with basic food items that most of us have around. I found the recipe in Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes, and I did some adjustments with the vegetables and herbs used. I was surprised at how good this very simple soup turned out."

Ingredients: dry lentils, dried basil...

"This is an extremely flavourful curry. Vegetarians can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Kids really like this too (with less pepper). Serve with basmati as a side to a more elaborate dinner, or alone, for a simple meal."

Ingredients: cumin, ghee, dried coconut...

"Delicious, hearty, low fat and high protein soup that doesn't use meat or bones for flavor - just fresh veggies and spices."

Ingredients: dried lentils, ground thyme...

"This is a recipe I adopted from Zenith's recipe collection when many unloved recipes were put up for adoption. All of her recipes were very good and this is no exception. Here's what Zenith had to say about this dish: A tasty vegetarian one-pot meal. (If you're not a vegetarian, you may wish to make this with chicken broth.)"

Ingredients: currants, curry powder...

"A great throw-together lowfat meal. (2 WW points). Freezes well for make-ahead lunches. Sometimes I add garbanzo beans. This is from the Secrets of Lowfat Cooking cookbook, a great resource."

Ingredients: dry lentils, cumin...

"Easy. Healthy. Vegan. Crockpot. Yummy. How can you *not* want to make this? Credit goes to "Diana in Wisconsin" of the Simple Living Discussion Forums. The amount of servings depends on whether you're making this as a main dish or a side."

Ingredients: cinnamon, ground cumin...

"Another family favorite."

Ingredients: dried basil, dried lentils...

"This rice dish takes very little time to prepare and most of the ingredients are found in the common kitchen. I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com and altered it to add that little "heat" I thought it needed. Serve this with a plain lentil dal (stew) or curry, or with a plain raita or cold yogurt."

Ingredients: dry lentils, ground cumin...

"A healthy almost no fat dish and a great way to use up all the left over vege's in your crisper."

Ingredients: brown mustard seeds, cumin...

"Try this hearty soup for supper with chunks of rye bread to dunk. All you'll need to finish a comfort food supper is some apples and cheese for dessert."

Ingredients: Spanish onions, dried split peas...

"This is so delicious and so simple. It's a little exotic, very flavorful, and will make your kitchen smell wonderful as it cooks - and my preference is to add extra cumin! I've never made it without first soaking the rice and lentils, but the dish could surely be adapted to no-soaking if you're looking to cut some of the prep time."
