Split Pea Soup

I was recommended this recipe for my blog. I have yet to try it, but almost all the ingredients are WIC foods.

Split Pea Soup
1 lb dry green split peas*
1 2.5 oz jar chicken & broth/gravy baby food*
some ham, diced
1 small onion, chopped*
1 clove garlic, chopped*
Three 4 oz jars baby food carrots*
6 cups water
salt & pepper to taste

Sort & rinse peas. Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the peas turn to mush. Serves ~6 people.

Baby Banana Oatmeal Muffins

I made muffins this morning. They turned out pretty good. I did forget the sugar, but they still tasted good to me. This is a great recipe to use if you have an abundance of baby oatmeal cereal and baby food that you get from WIC.



Baby Banana Oatmeal Muffins

1 1/3 Cups Flour
3/4 Cup Baby Oatmeal*
1/3 Cup Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 Beaten Egg*
1/2 Cup Milk*
2 - 4 oz jars baby food- bananas*
1/4 cup cooking oil
-------------------------
Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. Combine together, mixing just until wet. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12.
