Crockpot recipes are some of my favorite because there is little work involved. Just add ingredients and walk away until you can eat it. For this Enchilada Rice, I started by making a batch of my Enchilada Sauce. Then I added everything except the rice and cream cheese and let it slow cook. I chose to use Banza Rice because it is made of chickpeas which adds protein to the recipe, and I am not the biggest fan of regular rice. For the vegan cream cheese, I like the Tofutti brand or Go Veggie. I am still perfecting my own vegan cream cheese recipe, so as of now, I still buy vegan cream cheese from the store.

If you want a guilt free pasta experience, then this red lentil zoodle recipe is for you. It has less than 200 calories per serving and is loaded with nutrition. Zoodles are a great pasta alternative if you want to avoid carbs or if you want to eat less calories. They also make for a zero waste pasta if you buy the zucchini without packaging. I have a spiralizer that I use that I bought from TJ Maxx a few years ago. With my spiralizer, you only have to cut off the ends and then the device turns them into zoodles. I dry them off with a kitchen towel to remove as much excess water as possible before adding a little bit of olive oil to a pan and cooking until they begin to turn translucent. Then I repeat drying them before I add sauce.   For the sauce, you cook the red lentils in water and then add all of the ingredients into a high speed blender. If it is too liquid-y, you can always add flour to thicken it.  If you are not ready to try zoodles or want someth...
