Featured recipe from Marilu’s table * Split pea soup
Yum, another delicious vegan recipe! Use green split peas, and you’ll get your green in today, too! If you want, you can add several handfuls of chopped spinach or a couple of stems (pull the leaves off the stem) of chopped kale to this (see, we’re serious about greening you up for St. Patrick’s Day).
