Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

March 19th, 2013Tina0 Comments

Early last week it started to feel like springtime because we had warmer temperatures and sunny weather but now the temperatures have dipped back down to feel like winter again. What happened? Perhaps it’s the perfect last chance to make soup for the season, since I don’t tend to crave hearty soups in the warmer weather. I’m not really into using a slow cooker and by that I mean that I have literally used my slow cooker for one recipe, this one. I’m not against using them but I guess I prefer cooking a meal.

This icing is sweet which makes it perfect to use with sugar cookies. In fact, I would use this icing recipe with other cookies like gingerbread cookies.

I love to decorate my home, so it makes a lot …

So I’m always looking for healthy recipes, new exercises, and any other information that will help me succeed in this quest (a lifelong quest it seems). Even though I search for new ideas, I hold onto the “oldie but goodie” ones. Banana & peanut butter smoothies have been around for a while and there have many variations to the recipe. I have made the banana & peanut butter smoothie recipe found below so many times that it’s too many to count. If you love bananas then you will …
