Baby it's cold outside! Winter is here and that has us craving warm and cozy meals. Out with the salads and in with the soups. I recently heard that "souping is the new juicing" and I'm not one bit mad about it.  My short slow cooker videos over on Facebook have been my most popular, and when I asked for blog suggestions on Facebook and Instagram, many readers asked for vegetarian/vegan slow cooker recipes.
