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.
