Ok, I really did honestly think that I may have had a home run on my hands with split pea soup.  I was off base, WAY off base in reality.  I figured that my pals would think it was cool because it was green and Sir Butters would like it because in reality, it kind of is like baby food.  I thought I liked split pea soup and my husband likes everything – except Phyllo dough.

So I made it in my handy dandy crock pot.  It took about 2 minutes to throw it together so this was even more up my alley.  After 6 hours we ended up here:

 

Then after my son had his first look at it, he ended up here:

I felt bad because I was literally laughing so hard that my stomach hurt.  L.A. was so confused.  He could not figure out why in the world Mommy was attempting to make him eat such a hideous thing.  He would not even try it.  I told him that if he took one bite he could have a treat.  He was still not even considering it for a second.  He was fine without a treat as long as he did not have to eat whatever the hell it was that I put in his bowl.  “Mommy, WHY is my soup green?  Why am I supposed to EAT that?”

Eden tried it.  She didn’t like it but she at least tried it.

My giant baby looked at me like I was trying to feed him poop and the best part is that I tried it too and poop was not too far off.  It was terrible.  It tasted like a salty armpit dipped in garbage.  It. Was. Awful.

So, naturally, my husband liked it but he is a trooper and he likes everything.  God bless him because it was terrible.  Actually terrible is an understatement.

I love to post recipes when I have something that I think everyone needs to try so here is my recipe.
