Crockpot Split Pea Soup with Ham
January 8, 2010 - Written by DianaOur Christmas family gathering is not a small one. I have five sibling, we are all married with kids only half of us showed up this year, but that still makes for good showing. Deb brought the Turducken which was the star of the meal, with everyone searching for the duck and the stuffing. Unfortunately, not everyone could handle the Turducken, and my sister Desiree came to the rescue. ( Diana, Desiree, Deb – notice the trend). She brought a honey glazed ham with her. Deb took the Turducken home, but the leftover ham wasn’t claimed and I found it in my cooler when I was packing to go home. It happens that way, my mother unloads all the leftover treats, cookies, milk, etc into our cooler because we’re the last to leave.
I put the bone in the freezer, and used some of the ham, but not all of it. This morning before work, I decided to put all of the ingredients for Split Pea Soup with Ham into the Crockpot. This is a great slow cooker meal especially great on a cold snowy day when you want something warm in your belly. The honey glaze on …

Kettle Cuisine Soups – A Gluten Free Start For Your Lunch
January 26, 2009 - Written by Diana
I had the opportunity to bring Kettle Cuisine Soups to my work for lunch recently, and they are very tasty soups. The 10 oz. microwaveable bowl is the perfect size portion for your meal, although I usually brought along some fruit or vegetable sticks to have along with it. Kettle Cuisine’s gluten free soups were inspired by founder Jerry Shafir’s experience with his daughter’s need for a gluten free diet. A gluten free diet is required by those diagnosed with Celiac Disease and other conditions where foods containing gluten are not tolerated. Not all their soups are gluten free, but they now have nine soups that are gluten free. They are:

Orzo Minestrone
October 24, 2008 - Written by Diana
Time to use up some of those vegetables. It’s starting to frost outside, so a good warm soup for dinner is a nice thing. I used carrots, celery, parsley and swiss chard from my garden. Instead of bigger pastas, I used Orzo which is more rice sized. This soup was a quick easy and delicious way to end a work day.Ingredients:
Directions:
Dice and saute the first four ingredients together. When they seem soft add chopped up swiss chard and a little chicken broth. In a soup pot, heat up the chicken broth, plus canned tomatoes. Chop up parsley leaves and drop into the broth and tomatoes. Put …

Italian Sausage, Tomato & Cabbage Stew(p)
September 24, 2009 - Written by DianaThis stew is one of the best combinations for using up the veggies in your garden. The cabbage, potatoes and tomatoes all came from the vegetable garden. I would have had onions too, if my daughter hadn’t pulled them and thrown them into the composter with the weeds. The garlic, onions and sweet italian sausage (bison) all came from the farm market. The rest I had in the cabinet. It didn’t take long to prepare and was ready as soon as the cabbage was wilted enough. Lots of great flavor in this meal, you’ll love it.
Ingredients:Directions:
Spray a skillet with cooking spray, and cook the sausage with onions and smashed garlic. Halve potatoes and boil in a small pot of water until al dente, not soft. Throw rest of the ingredients …
Vegetable Chowder
February 26, 2009 - Written by DianaWhile Mardi Gras is for feasting and going over the top with the food and partying, the day after – Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting for some. I think Vegetable Chowder is a nice light meal, fasting or not and some days something light is just what you need. While this recipe from The Old Farmer’s Almanac Every Day Cookbook has a lot of vegetables, if you have other vegetables you prefer, go ahead and substitute. Sometimes it’s a great way to use up what you have hanging around.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Put the vegetables into a stockpot. Add barely enough vegetable broth to cover. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes. …
Irish Colcannon and Thyme Leaf Soup
February 22, 2009 - Written by Diana
I’m a mix of different not so recent immigrants and if I can incorporate some recipes from our heritage into the foods we eat, I will. This soup is called Irish Colcannon and Thyme Leaf Soup. My great grandparents came over in the late 19th century from Armagh & Donegal. Let me tell you I was thrilled the day a copy of my great grandfather’s naturalization papers arrived in the mail. Researching your family background is a really cool fun thing to do. My kids said they thought the soup might be something similar to what the potato farmers might have eaten. Anyway, I found this recipe in my Cooking Light – March 2007 issue and it’s really delicious. If you change the broth from chicken to vegetable, it can be a hearty vegetarian meal as well.Ingredients:
