Re: What are your cheapest and healthiest recipes/dinner plans?
tonight's dinner from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker
Split Pea & Parsnip Soup (the best split pea soup recipe. ever.)
1 large onion, diced
2 large parsnips, peeled & sliced into half moons (can sub carrots, but I've never done it.)
1 lb. split peas, rinsed
1 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
6 cups veg. stock (plain water is just as fabulous)
salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp liquid smoke, optional
Saute onion & parsnip. Cover & cook for 5 mins or until tender. Combine rest of ingredients, except s&p & liquid smoke, in slow cooker. Cover & cook on low for 8 hours. Just before serving, remove bay leaf & add s&p & liquid smoke, if using.
It's even better the 2nd day.
If you can find this cookbook from the library, it's full of easy, super healthy recipes using ingredients you'll have on hand.
