yum-o

It has been such a cold blustery day. Well, not really too cold-temps in the low 40's but the wind has been gusty, snow has been blowing. I'm just thankful I'm inside. Although I do have to go out this evening for work.

What goes better with a cold, blustery day than homemade soup and bread?

I have several ham bones in the freezer that I need to use up. I had lentils in the pantry. So, I made a pot of lentil soup (click on the pictures to get the full effect ;) )
and have whole wheat bread in the machine, smelling oh so good.

See that big hunk of ham? I was surprised at how much meat was still on that bone!

I used the recipe found here http://southernfood.about.com/od/beansoups/r/bl30117x.htm

So, I've used what I had on hand and I made a good nutritious meal with it.

Honestly, I wish I could share a bowl with you.


I really need to get a smaller stock pot, one about half this size.

Patty, we must be kindred spirits! It's very blustery here too and I have on a pot of pinto beans with a leftover ham bone and we'll have cornbread to go with it!

You soup looks divine! You know, we don't live that far apart (just a few hours) maybe we'll have to figure out how to get together one of these days!

Hi Patty- The weather here is getting a little warmer. The snow is gone and today I was able to wear a wool sweather with no coat. Yea!!

Your soup looks sooo good. I'm making cornbread and black-eyed peas for dinner.... My husband's favorite.

Oh, Patty!
That looks soooooo delicious!
I wanted to save my hambone (from NewYear's dinner) for a soup, but hubby gave it to our Lab! Ugh!!!
That's so neat that you made bread, too! Yummy! Homemade bread.....
Blessings,
Julie

Even though it is warm here in FL, I made homemade bread on Friday too! Also made some soup on Thursday. Loved it!
Pushing for a pot pie by Tuesday!
