Maybe it's the thought of Easter bunnies munching on carrots but carrot cake makes me think of spring and Easter. In reality, the warm, spicy flavors of ginger and cinnamon make this an equally satisfying treat during the fall and winter or any other time of year.

I know what you're thinking: spinach or beet juice in my buttercream frosting?! Yuck! But you will be amazed at how you don't even taste them, especially with the small quantities being used.

Lentils are high in protein, fiber and folate and are one of the best vegetable sources of iron. In a nutshell, the more lentils you consume, the better. This soup freezes well so you can make a large batch and save some for later.

I had never made split pea soup before so I thought it was time to give my Grandma's recipe a try. The soup thickens as it cools so if you are eating leftovers you may want to add more water or broth to reach your desired consistency. I was happy that my son liked the chunks of pork because with each bite of meat he was also eating split peas, a great source of lean protein.
