Split Pea Soup
"I love how easy it is to make split pea soup, and I never tire of it. I didn't have a ham bone, so I used ham I aleady had in my fridge in it's place. I always add a couple potatoes to every split pea soup recipe with the rest of the peas because it makes for great texture and flavor. Recipe courtesy of The Pillsbury Cookbook."

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
