When the Cold Winds Blow.....

Spent all day indoors.  Yup, it's true!  With winds blowing from the west and single digit temperatures, I decided I would not venture out today....no way.  Decided to spend my time in the kitchen today,cleaning and cooking.  Did you know that cold weather calls for healthy soup?  Made a pot of Split Pea and Ham soup.....one of my very favorites.  Topped off a bowl of soup with Bike man's delicious homemade croutons.  Really hit the spot, plus it's low-fat and loaded with fiber.  I won't be posting this soup in my turtle recipes, but just Google Split Pea soup if you want a recipe....there's tons of recipes to chose from online.

Remember to checkout other soup recipes I've posted in my "turtle recipes."  Wind chills expected to be -25 to -35 below tonight.  Think I'll take some soup to work tomorrow for my lunch!

  4. I haven't had split pea soup since I was a kid. I'm putting the peas on my grocery list.
