Split Pea Soup

I fully believe that a good, heart warming bowl of soup is complete and utter BLISS.

I never get tired of eating it, particularly in winter. In fact, I'll often make a big pot and have it 2 to 3 dinners in a row, sometimes even for breakfast. A good bowl of soup, a side green salad, and maybe a piece of toast or wheatberry bread and I'm in Heaven.

Garlic Oregano Yam Oven Fries

I absolutely love Brandon Brazier's The Thrive Diet book.
A first book came to me via my sister, who herself loved it so much she sent me a copy. I in turn sent another copy to a friend and have since loaned my own copy on a couple occasion.

Today's recipes revisits an otherwise "junk" food and turns it into pleasure without guilt:

First Sprouting

Hmmm... sprouts !
I've always loved sprouts and have been wanting to experiment with growing my own. One major point holding me back is the mess it creates with trays of soil to be maintained at cool temperatures and watered a couple times a day.

Nonetheless, I'm thinking there might be some way to make this work, so off I go to the library and what should I find but none other than the Sproutman himself, Steve Meyerowitz!
