This is a good way to use leftover ham, quite inexpensive, and VERY tasty. I hope that you enjoy it. Some people like to add carrots or other types of vegetables. Don't forget to serve with buttered bread toasted in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound dried split peas
- 1 pound ham bone
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
In a medium pot, saute onions in oil. Add the split peas, ham bone, and enough water to cover ingredients; season with salt and pepper.
-
2
Cover, and cook until there are no peas left, just a green liquid, 2 hours. While it is cooking, check to see if water has evaporated. You may need to add more water as the soup continues to cook.

Once the soup is a green liquid remove from heat, and let stand so it will thicken. Once thickened you may need to heat through to serve.

Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
A very Victorian recipe! Some people are put off by the notion of herb cookies, but you'll be pleasantly surprised. The flavor improves with age (best 2 days after), keeping for about a week.
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
I'm trying to eat less flour, but I also insist that my meals be tasty. After trying dozens of other people's recipes, I took ideas from all of them to create this. It's probably the most delicious thing I've ever had! By substituting out the eggs, it's easy to turn this into a vegan meal as well. Try a bite before topping with syrup, it's decadently yummy as-is! I make 'silver dollar' pancakes to take as snacks to potlucks.
Skyline Lentil Chili
Serve Skyline lentil chili over spaghetti topped with chopped onion, finely shredded Cheddar cheese, kidney beans, and Tabasco sauce. I used to love Skyline Cincinnati-style chili. When I went vegetarian, I created this Skyline lentil chili recipe to give me that Skyline taste. I use green or black lentils as the protein, whereas standard Cincinnati-style chili uses ground meat. Even though I've gone back to eating meat, this is still my preferred way to get my Skyline fix.
