For the love of food!
Recently, as also seen on here, I have been cooking a lot more than I usually do. I have always known how to cook thanks to my mom and other women in our family. We have always cooked home meals. I spent many hours watching my mom cook growing up. One of my favorite pass times was sitting in front of the oven watching the cookies bake, I mean who wouldn't love that?! There are a couple of problems with the way I learned how to cook/bake and that is... I learned home cookin' ya'll! As in, nothing is healthy, even the famed 7 layer salad that I love so much has a TON of mayo in it. The second being that I love love love to bake and I love love love to eat my baking. This is not so good for the cellulite reduction that I have been working so hard on! However, that being said I did take to the kitchen yesterday and plan to again this evening. This is split pea and ham soup, which turned out perfect! It was so delicious I almost forgotten how good soup can be. Recipe here . Then...
