#MeatlessMonday - Pumpkin & Green Chili Pepper Soup #vegetarian #crockpot

Our local grocery store has exploded in pumpkin-spice. Pumpkin-spice cookies, cupcakes, coffees, and chocolates. I even saw pumpkin-spice kale chips. *sigh*  I like my veggies as much as any vegetarian, but just...no.

This pumpkin-spice blend is a bit different, not sweet but the spicy warm flavors of cumin and chili. It's super-easy and takes a few minutes to set up in the crockpot. Perfect for a busy day.  Enjoy!


Pumpkin-Green Chili Pepper Soup

1 onion, diced
1T olive oil
4 ozs diced green chilies
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, diced
1 tsp ground red pepper
1-15 oz. can pumpkin purée
2-1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup sour cream

Sauté onion in olive oil until translucent and transfer into crockpot. Add pumpkin purée, vegetable broth, green chilies, chopped parsley, cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt, and ground red pepper.
Cook in a crockpot on low/med for about an hour. Blend until smooth.
Stir in sour cream before serving.

#MeatlessMonday - No-Bake Fudge-Oatmeal Cookies #summer #dessert #recipe

I'm not a fan of chocolate (yeah, yeah) but I have to say, these cookies are good.  This recipe has been in my family for many, many years (though I've seen it elsewhere). I call this a "summer cookie," because they require no baking in the oven, and they they take minutes to prepare. Enjoy!

No Bake Fudge-Oatmeal Cookies

2-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix oats, peanut butter and vanilla. Set aside

1/2 cup milk
1/8 tsp. salt
2T cocoa
2 cups sugar

Mix milk, salt, cocoa and sugar in saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute.
Here's where you must be quick, little grasshopper! Add to the oatmeal/peanut butter mixture and stir. QUICKLY drop on wax paper and let stand until firm.
