Jim had it 4 times a week for close to a year when he was a young'un, so he was very apprehensive about me trying this recipe. However, against his better judgement, he allowed me to have my fun and brew up a batch of this childhood favorite. Much to his chagrin, he enjoyed it, and even went back for seconds! Guess this one will be added to our recipe box, and will pull it out every now and then.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I did a google search for split pea soup and ran across the recipe for Andersen's, which is a restaurant in California, and was very happy with the result.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">What you need:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 quarts water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 cups split peas (14-16oz bag)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 branch of celery, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 large carrot, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 small onion, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 clove garlic, minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1/4 tsp thyme</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">pinch of cayenne</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 bay leaf</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1/4 tsp black pepper</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I put all of this into a large pot and turned it up to high.</span><br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bring it to a hard boil for 20 minutes. It will start to look frothy like this:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until peas are soft and start falling apart. Once the peas are starting to get a bit mushy, remove the bay leaf and either push all through a small sieve or you can do like I did, and dump it into the food processor and pulse until all the big chunks of veggies are broken up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Transfer back into the pot and bring back to a slow boil.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">When serving, add a pinch of paprika to the top and enjoy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just an added note, this didn't need any ham, it's pretty hearty, so if you are looking to go meatless, this will do nicely. However, we are carnivores and will be adding ham next time.</span></div>

We've done this BBQ sauce for the past 2 years and love it. It's so simple and tastes so much better than what you buy in a bottle. There is also so much you can do with this to change the flavor, leave out the hot sauce and add honey, etc. Very yummy!</span><br />

You can catch fish and fill your freezer for the year. Well, we have some friends that PCS'd last year and gave us a TON of fish out of their freezer (thanks Kirk and Angie!!). In that fish, was Rockfish. Neither of us have ever eaten or cooked it, so we looked up some recipes and decided on one to try tonight. Rockfish Parmesan. Oh. My. Gahhh. Heaven. This was absolutely amazing! Moist, flaky, rich, delicious. We served this with candied baby carrots and sticky white rice (Calrose). </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here is what you will need:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 lb. Alaska Rockfish (or red snapper, works the same as well) fillets, thawed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 tsp. lemon or lime juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1/4 cup flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 egg, slightly beaten</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1/4 fine dry bread crumbs (I used store bought Italian flavor)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (we grated it normally and then chopped it fine with a knife)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 tbsp. oil (we guess-timated and used peanut oil)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Salt and pepper to taste</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Cut rockfish into serving sized pieces.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Combine lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce; sprinkle on fish. We doubled this and put the fish on a plate, brushed it on with a silicone basting brush, and let it set for about 1/2 hour or so.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Put the flour in a bowl/dish. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Put the egg in another bowl/dish and beat slightly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Put the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese into a 3rd bowl/dish and combine. We added some oregano to this because we love oregano. Add as much as you want, or none at all. It's all about what you like.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Dip fish into the flour first, coating completely.</span><br />

Of course! But who wants to feel fatter and more guilty with every bite because of all the calories and fat? Never fear! I found an amazing recipe that is tried and true in our house. You get the rich and creamy without the guilt. I make this with shrimp, but you could use chicken, pork, or any other meat you would like, really. I enjoy how the shrimp marries with the garlic and the rich parmesan, it's almost a no-brainer for me, but there are a lot of people that don't like shrimp, can't eat it, whatever the case may be, so feel free to substitute for what fits your preferences. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ready? Here's what you will need:</span><br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Shrimp in Parmesan Garlic Sauce over Pasta</span></u></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 lb. Shrimp (raw, peeled and tails taken off)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Olive oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 large or 2 small/medium cloves of garlic, finely minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 slice of onion (I use yellow) about 1/4 inch think, chopped fine</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Salt, Pepper to taste</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 tablespoons butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 tablespoon garlic powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 tablespoons flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 cup chicken broth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1/2 cup milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Pasta of your choice</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">First, the sauce - it takes longer than the shrimp and you can simmer it while you wait for that to cook. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In a medium sized sauce pan, put the butter and garlic powder over medium heat until melted.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Lower heat and allow to simmer, whisking occassionally.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">At this point, I usually start the water for my pasta, but depending on what kind you are using (I used to bowtie pasta) and how long it needs to cook. If yo are doing angelhair, thin spaghetti, etc. now would be the time, if you are using something heavier like fettacini, linguini, bowtie, etc., you might want to start before the sauce. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So since we have the sauce going and the water going, now it's on to the shrimp.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In a saute pan, put in some olive oil, and turn the heat to medium high.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are madly in love with each other, and with cooking. It's our way of showing love to each other, our friends and our family. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We invite you to follow our cooking adventures, whether they be successes or failures (yes, we'll post our mistakes as well!), and we hope you will enjoy taking this journey of love and food with us.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome! Please sit back, relax and cook with us. We are glad you are here!</span></div>
