Happy Morselicious Meatless Monday!!
How was your weekend? Wanna hear irony?
The weather in So. Cal finally cooled down and Mo, the Morselist got BURNED!
Yes, again! This one is the biggest burn I’ve ever had! I don’t want to discuss…it HURTS!
Moving on…
I created another tasty Meatless-Morsel SLOWicious Meal in my Crock Pot or SLOW COOKER, thus the name…and well, here it is… and please BE CAREFUL of BURNING OVENS!!!!
My sister is trying to find me protective arm gear made from oven mitts, NO JOKE…so if you have any leads, please contact us!
You can throw ALL of the ingredients into your Slow Cooker-Crock Pot and cook on low for 4 – 4.5 hours. Perfect for busy people and NO, this is NOT how I burned myself! 🙂

Actually, Karen, I got burned BAKING my morsels!
A professional HAZARD, I’m learning…
Burns are so painful too–so sorry!
Wait a minute…did you get burned cooking? Oh no! I hope your sister can find some protective gear for you then!
YUM–this looks good! I’m going to have to tie one on (an apron with clothes on too) and give it a try. So sorry about your burn–can’t imagine your fair skin under CA skies…cloudy or clear. Take care!
Yes, Karen, please tie one on and send a pix! 🙂
Thanks…lots of aloe vera going on here!
Me in the kitchen typically strikes fear into family members’ hearts!
Sounds (and looks) delish! I love slow-cooking – especially since it gives you time to do other things and by the time meal is done cooking, the flavors have come together marvelously!!
I agree, Lauren! And the aroma makes the entire house smell
HEAVENLY!
Oh, Gail, this made me laugh and cringe out loud!
Thanks for sharing and do try this dish…
I think you will LOVE!!!
Ouch! So sorry about your burn, Mo! I hope it doesn’t hurt to badly and that it will heal quickly. Here’s a short story that I hope will bring a smile: A dear friend of mine likes to bake in the nude, (she doesn’t even wear an apron!) She burned her breast on an oven rack when making muffins last week. (She still bakes in the nude.)
This dish sounds SO delicious! It has so many wonderful ingredients in it—quinoa, lentils, sweet potato, rosemary, cinnamon, curry, and So Delicious Coconut Milk, and so many more! I cannot wait to try this!
