New to the Kitchen

This past month we've made a few upgrades to our kitchen. The first thing we've added is a brand new 7 quart slow cooker. Our old one had a chunk missing out of the ceramic. This new one is larger and has a timer so we can set it and leave.

The best money can buy. At K-Mart.

We also invested in an immersion blender. After my borsht explosion a couple weeks ago, I decided it was time. So many good soup recipes call for pureeing to finish, it'll be put to good use.

No more beet juice everywhere.

And last but not least we got a great new cookbook. At the suggestion of our friend Kim, we purchased a copy of The Vegan Slow Cooker.

There are so many good recipes in this book, we can't wait to try them all. Last week we enjoyed Indian tofu saag. Right now I have sweet potato white bean soup cooking. We'll be working through this cookbook for many months. Thanks Kim!

Tofu saag. Tastes better than it looks.
