Week 7 into my Cooking Class

Here we are... already into week 7!

The making of all the delicious food has yet to begun! Every week is a new week full of surprises with different food! This week, our group made the split pea soup with smoked sausages and greens! It was... honestly.. the most delicious soup I have ever tasted... :) Our group was highly satisfied with our food! We had lots of Kale left over, so we ended up sauteing the rest with a bit of minced garlic and olive oil. It was delicious!

Here is the recipe for the Split Pea Soup with Smoked Sausage and Greens! Enjoy!
