Kim,

I'm not sure what the answer to your question is but could you share the

recipe? I've been looking for one that uses a ham steak instead of the ham

bone and haven't had any luck.

We can have peas/split peas on phase 2, not phase 1. Same with

carrots. Ham is one of those " personal choice " type items. It's kind

of high in fat, and very high in sodium. But, once you are on phase 2,

if you want to try it, just be sure to watch the scale to see if the

sodium from the ham make you retain water weight. It's not something I

would have on a regular basis, tho.

Here's a split pea soup that's really really good. I personally like it because

it has no ham in it at all (I don't particularly care for salty ham). But give

it a try. If you can't live without that smoky flavor, you can add some smoke

flavoring (you get it in a bottle in the spice section) to it. I like a cup of

this for a snack in P2. Yummy! I don't make it very often, but when I do, I

have to hide it or my husband and kids eat it all.
