~ 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.

~ Pasta Salad with Wheat Noodles ~

Here is another quick, easy to make dish that we served when our friends came over that evening a few weeks ago.  

  Here is what is needed Pasta Salad with Wheat Noodles package, water, and mayonnaise

  Directions: Bring 5 cups of water to a boil. Pour noodle mix into boiling/water and continue to boil for 9 minutes.

 

 

 Meanwhile, mix 1/3 cup of mayonnaise with the seasoning mix.

Drain noodles, and then stir noodles and the mayonnaise mixture together. Enjoy warm or chilled. I chilled this dish in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, but did taste it when it warm and it is great either way!
