We are big gardeners around here.
So fall means getting the last veggies from the garden and getting it ready for the winter.
Here is Mr. Carrot! We found him this week while pulling carrots for dinner.
He's been spared and it hanging out on the windowsill for a few days since he makes us smile :-)
My Favorite fall food is Pea Soup. I absolutely LOVE pea soup!
I make it in a crock pot and don't have to worry about it at all. All the ingredients are ones that I always keep on hand. I don't use a recipe.
I add these things to a 4.5 quart crock pot.
Potatoes, Carrots, Chopped Onion
1 pound dry green split peas
Soup stock or Dry bouillon and water to fill pot
Salt, Garlic and 3-5 Bay Leaves
Cook on High until vegetables are tender. Remove Bay leaves and enjoy!
Thanks for coming to our open studio!

Before I read the post I couldn't figure out WHAT that was! Too cool!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That CARROT is hilarious! How could you possibly have a bad day with that thing sitting there to crack you up?
ReplyDeleteI think that is probably the most amazing carrot I have ever seen! I'm kind of spitting in a fit of hysterical laughter. I wonder if you could preserve him somehow. But somehow I don't think dehydration would do Mr Carrot justice.
ReplyDeleteOh, the joys of snorting laughter… (sinus allergies are on full overload right now…). That is such a funny carrot… and if that wasn't enough, the dehydration comment made the snort laughter happen…
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe for Pea Soup. I've always wanted to try it…
Who says vegetables are not sexy?
ReplyDeleteI love Mr. Carrot. He's a really sexy carrot. :-)
ReplyDeletePriceless and he is standing in your window with pure glee! I know he is smiling too!
