Slow Cooker Lentil and Pea Vegetable Soup

Great for winter to warm up your hungry tummy! It takes little effort, all I had to chop were the potatoes and green pepper; I bought the carrots and lettuce prepackaged and ready to go! This is perfect if you're going to have a busy day, prepare it in the morning and the soup will be ready to serve by the time you come home.

Great snack! Munch munch... this recipe calls for 1/2 tbsp of pepper which may be a little too much for some, so if you don't like them to taste really spicy then put only couple of pinches instead.

Vegetarian Banana Pancakes

This recipe was inspired by a friend who doesn't eat eggs (or any meat) at all. It is quick, easy and delicious breakfast recipe! Try it with other fruits such as strawberries, peaches or even mangoes. If you don't like syrup as part of the toppings then add some whip cream. Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste buds if you don't like your pancakes too sweet. Enjoy!
