I use a real ham bone. So here we go:


1lb of split peas rinsed - I use 50/50 yellow and green


One medium onion diced


Three large carrots sliced


4 cloves of garlic minced


1 lb of potatoes diced


1.5 tsp of Tumeric


SAlt and pepper


3cups of vegetable stock
2 cups of water


I saute the onions and garlic first, then add spices to saute and then the carrots.


Then add all the liquids and rest of veges - Takes about 2 hrs to cook.


Sometimes I add extra ham as well.


After cooked I blend everything up in blender - or you can keep whole if you like. Serve with French Bread. If you need to *thin* the mixture just add more water

Lol! well I was pleased to share it because I do not usually go on Four mile hikes, we were on a family visit/vacation and didn't realize it woul be such a long 'little stroll' we were taking our six kids and small dog on needless to say lilah got carried most of the way back and so did the four year old

Bet my hike didn't cover the Dairy Queen cheeseburger and onion rings I ate on the trip home tonight! Lol

Donut stick and coffee for breakfast, neither of which contains anything of nutritional value, and now I'm thinking pizza for lunch.

How on earth did you guess, you mind-reader you....!!!

Well, instead of a freshly baked, hot, steaming pepperoni pizza, I ate cold leftovers from the weekend standing in the kitchen! Two bites of yesterday's Salisbury steak, 2 tablespoons of peas, the end of a baked potato and the last of the mustard potato salad. Yuck.

I had the last of the left over roast beef and a Yorkshire pudding some horseradish sauce.


Soup for dinner when I get home - yup its soup dang freaking cold time.

mmmmm, sounds great. I started off healthy with yogurt and fresh strawberries but the 1/2 bag (large) of Cheetos that followed had no nutritional value at all and I'm still hungry (bored). It's too cold to even go for a walk!

Hmmmmm....Ok, so if you're that chilly, I think you're in need of a big, fat hot chocolate with whipped cream on the top, a few teensy marshmallows floating around in it....and a Cadbury's Flake to dip in and scoop it all up....

REALLY good for you - full of calcium () but great for the soul!

I've not ate dinner yet, but I'm hoping for some grilled chicken and rice!

My son is home for a couple of weeks. He's a health nut and cooks his own food daily and seasons the heck out of it. I am usually such a plain food eater (no seasoning, no sauces, no gravy, nothing) but I just love how tasty he makes everything. I'm hoping for a redo of the chicken and rice he made a few days ago. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Sally, thanks for the great suggestion. I have hot chocolate, whipped cream and big marshmallows. Cadbury's Flake is not familiar to me. Chocolate is my favorite but I dont remember ever seeing that kind. Cadbury eggs are a favorite as are the bars.
