~ Green Split Pea Soup ~

I've been meaning to try this for a while!

All the ingredients are in the soup mix except for 10 cups of Water. How easy is that?!

Directions: Place soup mix and 10 cups of water in large pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 2 hours or longer (until peas are done) stirring occasionally. Makes 7 cups.

I made this in the crock put and let it cook all day. It was delicious!  Even took some over to my folks to share!  

Forgot to take a photo of it in a bowl but here was a snapshot of the crock pot view

Would I make it again?  Yes! You can buy it or any of the other wonderful mixes right HERE.

Etoufee (with photos this time)

Last night I made Etoufee and although I posted this a while back I did not have the photos as my husband deleted them by accident.  So before that could happen again, I got all the photos on my blog! :)

This Etoufee dish can be made with shrimp, crawfish or ground sausage.  I like to make it with shrimp as I never see crawfish available at the store anyway and I don't really care for ground sausage.  

Ingredient:  Package of Etoufee (on my website in the Cajun category), 1 lb of your choice of meat (mentioned above), 1/2 cup margarine, 1 chopped celery stalk, water and 8 oz can tomato sauce.  When I went to get the tomato sauce we had none but we did have a jar of Salsa and it worked out splendidly!

Directions: Cook 1 lb of your choice of meat, in a large pot with 1/2 cup margarine and 1 chopped celery stalk  You will see the celery stalk missing here and that is because my husband does not like it. Otherwise it definitely would be in there!

 

 

  Add the mix , 1 1/2 cups water and 1 (8oz) can tomato sauce (in my case I added 1/2 jar of the Salsa)

 Cool on low for 20 minutes.  (meantime I cooked some long grain and wild rice to serve it with.

 Serve over rice.  Here is the finished plate!  Just delicious!
