Split Pea Soup

1 package of Dried Split Peas, rinsed and sorted.
1 Ham Shank
1 onion finely diced
2 stalks of celery finely diced
2 carrots finely diced
*I used my food processor to chop the veggies
4 to 5 cups of Chicken stock
1 dried bay leaf

Put it all in the crock pot and cook on high for approx 6 hours. If you do use the shank, pull the meat off the bone.

I love split pea soup! My mom and I are the only ones in the family that like it!

It's a bummer when your whole family doesn't like something because then you hardly ever get to have it. lol

[Sarie]

It's a bummer when you hate something, but your family loves it so you have to have it a lot.

It's also a bummer when you LOVE something, but your family hates it so you never get to have it!

[Sarie]

Bananna bread and Cinnamon bread is awesome....

I have a recipe that my mom discovered a few nights ago while cooking supper for the people she babysits for:

1 package of slow cooker mild BBQ powder (you know those clubhouse ones or something like that)
1 cup of ketchup
3lb of ribs (about)

Mix the powder in with the ketchup, pour into ribs (in slowcooker) mix around with your hands to get the sauce mixed in nicely, and let it sit in the fridge over night.

Next morning, put the ceramic dish back into the slow cooker and set on low, cook for 8h.
Drain the grease from the ribs and pour a little bit over top, mix it all in.

Presto, good, yummy, juicy ribs. Babybacks work best.

MMMMmmm that sounds good Nicole! Now I'm hungry...
