Mmm… soup!
I told you Split Pea Soup would be seen on the blog in the very near future. There’s something about this bowl of green mush that just makes me so happy.
Thanks to my Quick & East Split Pea Soup recipe I was able to make a quick batch of soup right after I got off of work.
I didn’t have any ham on hand, but I did have the Boccalone Salami from my Foodbuzz swag bag that I knew would be the perfect replacement.
The salami was the perfect salty addition to mushy soup.

1.5 hours later
While the soup was simmering I got to work baking a batch of Pumpkin Cornbread (recipe found here).
I highly suggest you give this recipe a shot. It was a nice twist on the classic cornbread recipe.
This afternoon I had a bag of PopChips at work.
I have been diligently teaching Maddie how to play fetch for a few weeks now and this afternoon she finally grasped the concept!
Unfortunately when I tried to film her new talent she was more interested in the camera then fetching! Oh well. The video was still adorable and proved that Miss Maddie is a little camera diva.
Take a look for yourself! (If you are in google reader you need to click to the blog to see it)

She is too cute!
I’m totally going to try that pumpkin cornbread recipe in the near future! Maybe with the red beans and rice I have on Friday’s menu plan?
OMG your dog is sooooo cute! and your voice is too!
Aww my Jack loves to play fetch she never stops! I need to try that cornbread I have requests for a pumpkin recipe by family members.
Awwwwwwwwwww Maddie!!!!!! SO CUTE!!! Um I totally want your meal…I actually dont think I’ve ever had split pea soup (!!) but this looks delicious and pumpkin cornbread sound SO good.
Maddie is SO adorable!
awww she is the cutest lil dog ever!!!
That is adorable! Love this video!
Maddie is fantastic! I NEED to try this cornbread recipe. Yum.
I was just thinking about making cornbread when I saw corn flour at WFs tonight–you just took it to a WHOLE new level
I love the cornbread – I’m going to have to try that! Everything pumpkin is so tasty
Awe, adorable video! Makes me miss having a pup around.
And… I need to make split pea soup this weekend!
That soup looks awesome. I think I’m going to have to make it this weekend.
I am totally making that cornbread this week!
Maddie is so adorable! I want her to be girlfriend and boyfriend with my dog, I think they would make a great puppy couple
That cornbread looks fantastic by the way! I could seriously eat pumpkin year round!
Ohhh pumpkin cornbread — I like it!

That video is so cute! Maddie is the best…just loves the camera
Your soup made me drool.
Pumpkin cornbread sounds delicious! I am also obsessed with that gourd…I just finished off a batch of white chocolate pumpkin cookies that I made over the weekend

LOL – LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to steal her!
That looks just like guacamole! A compliment since I love me some guac.
Your soup is so thick it almost looks like guacamole!
Maddie’s a true star- she’s drawn to the camera! Olive has that same rope toy- even the colors are the same. I have to let you know that once they learn how to fetch it’s all they want to do. Olive has never been given people food so she doesn’t beg when you eat but she begs to play fetch all the time. Heed the warning.
That soup looks amaaazing. Green slime = yummy.
aww, so cute!
DUDE! did you know that this week is NATIONAL SPLIT PEA SOUP WEEK?!
oh and oops i got so excited about the soup thing i forgot to say i love the video
maddie is so dang awesome. i loved the lick at the end.
how is that popchip flavor? thats the one i havent tried!
Meh, Maddie’s too good for something as simple as “Fetch”. I assume that in her free time (maybe when you’re at work), she springs for more erudite pastimes like a good game of chess or doing the Sunday crossword puzzle.
Oh wow, the way she shakes at about :09 has gotta be one of the most adorable things ever!
OMG SO F-ING CUTE!!! I love when she licks the camera.
And what, pumpkin cornbread? Those are like the two best things in the whole world combined. Gah! The soup looks killer, too!
Ok, I need a Maddie ASAP
She is too adorable! I love when she licks the camera at the end!
Split pea soup is rapidly becoming one of my new favorites. I’m definitely putting that pumpkin cornbread on my to-try list this week. I should have all of the ingredients!
I’ve been meaning to tell you — CONGRATS on making it to the next round of the Good Mood Gig! Do you still need help with iMovie? I’m not positive on the voice over component, but I’ve used it for editing before and would be happy to give some general tips where I can!
That video is precious! =)
That video brought a huge smile to my face!! She is soooo cute!!!
That lick at the end is the real heartbreaker
I’ve never made split pea soup before – yours looks delicious! Salami sounds like a tasty addition too
That video was adorable!! I love how she tries to lick the camera. Too cute!!
Cornbread + pumpkin?! My dream bread! Looks so good.
Awww I heart Maddie
Yum, pumpkin cornbread sounds so festive! I love the idea, I’m going to have to give that one a try! Maddie is so adorable whether she wants to play fetch or not!
Too cute!!! I love how she licked the camera.
I LOVE split pea soup! It’s so easy to make and tastes like you slaved away over the stove all day. I bet it went wonderfully with that pumpkin cornbread.
I bet she’d still avoid me, even if I was holding the camera. :-/ Love her shake shake shake and slurp at the end though.
I was going to make pumpkin pancakes with my leftover pumpkin, but I think now I’ll make the cornbread!
The video made me smile this morning, thanks for posting!
Wow. I am SO looking forward to trying the pumpkin cornbread recipe! Thanks for posting it!
Maddie is so adorable!
I love split pea. Captures my heart every time.
Love your dog
That’s adorable! Maddie is so cute! I’m glad she mastered fetch though. My puppy will be a year on the 23rd, and she still hasn’t quite mastered it. She will either keep running past the toy, or she’ll bring it back but runs pasts you and won’t give it back right away. Then again, she had absolutely no training until she was about 5 months (she was abused until she was 3 months, and then we adopted her from the SPCA) but she was so scared, nervous, and hyper at first that it was nearly impossible to keep her attention to train her at anything. There are very, VERY few trainers in my area as well but she is slowly picking things up. She’ll give her paw to everyone except my boyfriend. For him, she rolls over for a belly rub!
This was quite a bit longer than I meant it to be! Oops!
