Let’s talk about peas today, shall we?

Peas immediately take me back to my childhood. The smell, the texture, and even the taste…it’s almost like I’m transported to being ten years old again.

I know not everyone likes peas. Take the hubster, for example. He’ll eat a pea or two, but not if he can help it. And me? Well, I like peas, but it’s one of those vegetables that I never make and only seem to have when they’re mixed into soup, fried rice, or a casserole of some sort.

It’s almost like peas are the forgotten veggie of the greens. Agree? Unless you’re a pea fanatic, I’m guessing you feel the same way.

Well, all of that is about to change today. I’m ready to bring some new life to peas and declare it as one of my favorite side dishes thus far. That’s a pretty bold assumption, but once you taste these peas, I think you’ll agree.

If you’re looking for a new way to reintroduce peas into your diet, then these Bacon and Feta Peas were made for you! The flavorful sauce, smoky bacon, and tangy feta combine to create an irresistible taste that is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.

Proof: the hubster ate these peas! He even had a second helping, which is saying a lot. And if you’ve been hanging around here long enough, you know that the hubster is pretty much a meat and potatoes kind of guy.

And like most of my recipes, these Bacon and Feta Peas are ready in less than 15 minutes, and that includes prep time! What could be easier than that?

    Okay, confession. I don't do peas. But if I did, feta would definitely be involved! And I do love the colors, too.

    I loooove peas especially this time of year in a pretty side dish like this! I mean, how could you not LOVE peas when they're hanging out with bacon and feta?? This would be such a good side dish for the lamb roast I'm making today!

    I was never always a big fan of peas until recent years when I tried frozen peas. Now, I LOVE them. Love the pop of freshness and colour they add to a recipe. This one is a perfect Spring side and how can you go wrong with the addition of bacon and feta :) Pinning!

    I actually LOVE peas, but my husband would rather not. If I'm having a lazy night and just want pasta, I always mix peas in for a little green :) But who wouldn't love peas when combined with bacon and feta?!

    Oh YUM! Now, THIS is how to eat peas! My kids always enjoy peas, but I think they're pretty boring when they're served plain. Bacon is always the answer!!! :)

    I've rediscovered my love of peas lately. I love buying the bag of fresh english peas from trader joe's. Love that you added bacon to them, bacon makes EVERYTHING better, right?
