African-Inspired CrockPot Soup with Peanut Butter is something I’ve been making for years, and when I moved to a new house in March, this was one of the first soups I made at the new place. I love the creamy peanut butter flavor in a soup that has a lot of nutritional value from the lentils, brown rice, red bell pepper, and tomatoes. This soup is much too good to only serve for Meatless Monday, but if you’re looking for a vegetarian or vegan option for that day, this is a perfect choice!

Ingredients for African Inspired Soup with Peanut Butter:

Onion
green onion
red bell peppers
minced garlic
diced tomatoes
vegetable stock
ground cumin
Ancho chile powder
New Mexico chile powder
Aleppo pepper (or other types of chile powder and hot pepper)
brown lentils
brown rice
peanut butter

I love lettuce wraps all year, but in the summer I especially like the way they can cool down something hot, in this case barbecued chicken. I made the barbecued chicken for these Slow Cooker Low-Sugar Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups because I had some young nephews coming to visit, and they loved the chicken inside quesadillas as much as I enjoyed it in a lettuce wrap. This delicious dish won’t heat up the house when it’s cooking, so I think it sounds perfect for a Summer Dinner.

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Low-Sugar Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups:

Chicken breasts
reduced-sugar ketchup
tomato paste
sweetener
brown sugar
apple cider vinegar
yellow mustard
Green Tabasco sauce
Worcestershire Sauce
Liquid Smoke
