Due to popular demand, here's the split pea soup recipe Amanda mentioned in yesterday's Fridge Feature [thanks for sharing, lady!]. Perfect timing with this sudden glorious spring weather! Peas are a great balancing food: because of their ability to cleanse and alkalize the system, they are well-suited to this time of year. This easy-to-make soup will help break up the remnants of winter in the body and get your energy up for spring.
What to do while your creation simmer? Seems like just enough for a kitchen-floor yoga practice, no?
Have a great one!
