Eat your Peas... :)~

I had my computer whiz of a wife put in a drop down box of all my previous recipes for your quick reference. Check it out in the side bar underneath my profile!...I hope you'll find it useful.... :)~

All peas are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamin, folate, iron and phosphorus. Green peas are second only to lima beans as a fresh vegetable source of protein. Frozen peas compared to the nasty canned variety, retain their color, flavor and nutrients. Paired along with the Quinoa this is a high protein dish!
