My oldest daughter doesn't eat. Well, I take that back. She eats fruit, some veggies, yogurt, peanut butter and jelly/honey sandwiches, crackers, and chicken nuggets. Oh, she also likes rice with cheerios in it for some reason. However, she recently decided that she liked some Pea Soup that I had made in the Crock Pot and it was an amazing moment for us.
She was sitting at the kitchen table and we were eating the pea soup.
Olivia: Mommy, I really like this pea soup and corn bread!
Me: (very surprised) Wow! Thanks! I'm glad you like it! I think that might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me...wait, no it isn't. Do you know what is?
Olivia: What?
Me: The nicest thing you have ever said to me is "I love you!"
Olivia: I love you, too, Mommy!
How could I ask for more? She told me she liked my nutritious meal and she told me she loved me-what a great day.
Here's the recipe:
1 bag of split peas
4-8 carrots (chopped)
1 onion (diced)
1 ham hock
enough water to cover everything-possibly up to 4 cups
Instructions:
Put everything in the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hrs. or on high for 4-6 hours.
We always serve it with corn bread.
Enjoy!
