I recently started working at a job with a hefty commute, and, having
heard there are vegetarian slow cooker cookbooks now, bought a slow
cooker so we could eat homemade dinners.

I bought "Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker," and frankly, I'm not
that impressed. I tried the vegetable tagine recipe and liked it, but
so far my husband's responses have ranged from "this is not too bad"
to "this is awful - why do you keep cooking with that thing?" (that
last the rather unfortunate Vindaloo recipe in the book - we love
Indian food but hated it. If you make it, I strongly recommend
leaving out the vinegar).

About.com's U.S. Southern Cooking (http://southernfood.about.com/
library/crock/blcpidx.htm) has had a couple of winners, though most of
the external links there for slow cooker recipes were pretty
disappointing.

A key word search on this newsgroup showed no new slow cooker postings
since 2005; has anyone got any good recipes to share?

I'm making things a little more difficult by trying to avoid most
beans, and my husband doesn't like soups (though he likes thicker
stews such as pea soup or lentil - both of which I have great non-slow
cooker recipes for).

I'd be particularly interested in good breakfast recipes besides the
ever-present oatmeal with fruit, or a good egg scramble recipe that
doesn't involve substituting for a bunch of meat. (We are ovo-lacto
vegetarians.)

Good Indian or Asian recipes, or pasta- or potato-based main dishes
would also be very welcome.

Thanks for any help.
