Split Pea Soup Recipe

A couple weeks ago, spiral hams were on a ridiculous sale, so I bought one and we had a lovely, decadent dinner, with ham and mashed potatoes and rolls and applesauce. We also had enough ham left over for a second dinner, plus meat for lots of sandwiches, and a ham bone to freeze for soup. I made our favorite, split pea soup.

Chili Recipe

Brrr… they are predicting the first snow of the season here! It’s nippy and wet out, and it’s a perfect time for chili. Luckily for me, I have some in the freezer that I made last week, and I heated up a bowl for lunch. My boys don’t like chili, silly guys!

My chili is an adaptation of the chili my mom made when I was growing up. My grown daughter now makes her own chili, that I’m sure she’s adapted from mine. It’s a family tradition, I suppose.
