Let's talk easy dinner recipes.   I'm a little ashamed to admit, I'm a HORRIBLE dinner chef.  At the end of a long day, I'd rather play with my toddler than spend an hour in the kitchen preparing her meals.  So my goal this fall? To try more easy recipes that have minimal prep time.

My solution? Our slow cooker.  It's been the best investment I've made in MONTHS.  Why? I spend a very short period of time the night before prepping ingredients…..and the morning of I just plug and go.  When I get home, the house smells amazing, and dinner is ready for us.

This slow cooker split pea soup recipe is a huge hit in our house (and one of the easiest ways to get Lydia to eat veggies).

 Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup:

Ingredients

Yum

2 c Ham, diced
½ Onion, diced
1 lb Green peas, dried, split
8 C Chicken Broth
1 Carrot, chopped, large
2 Potatoes, washed, skin on, chopped
1 Ham bone
1 tsp Garlic, minced
2 Bay leaves, dried
1 tsp Italian seasoning (generous teaspoon)
to taste Salt and Pepper

Directions

1. Put peas, potatoes, onion, carrot, bay leaves, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and ham bone in the slow cooker (don't forget to use slow cooker liners for easy clean up!)
2. Slowly add the chicken broth. Be sure it covers the bone
3.  Cook on high for 5  – 6 hours.
4. At the 4 hour mark, add the diced ham
5. When cooking time is complete, and the peas and potatoes are very soft, remove the bone.
6. Dice up any meat that was on the bone and add it back to the slow cooker. With a masher, give the soup a few mashes (careful it’s very hot!), to mash the potatoes, carrots and the peas. No need to mash them completely smooth unless this is the texture you prefer.

Ladle into bowls and serve with a side of bread or crackers. Enjoy!

    This is a scrumptious recipe! I did not have a ham bone, but it turned out well using all the other ingredients. I particularly liked how the potatoes thickened the soup.

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

✨Is she one of your favorites too? (ps swipe for an iconic appearance)

💦 I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report 💦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
