This soup is lovely. The addition of dill and fresh peas really freshens it up. It takes a bit of time to cook split peas, so make it on the weekend or in the evening when you have time to let it sit on the stove for awhile. Make it in the slow cooker if you…

Cold Spring Rolls with Asian Dipping Sauce
I avoided making these Cold Spring Rolls for ages, thinking that they would be hard to put together. I love them and always order them when I go to an Asian restaurant. When I finally attempted them I was thrilled that they couldn’t be easier to make. If you can roll a burrito, you can easily make…
