Terrific...my kids who are extremely picky loved it. They even fought for seconds. This is a keeper.

This was just okay for us. I think that maybe we're just "Peas 'n Butter" people. Thanks for posting this Chris. It's always good to try something new.

What a delicious side dish for any meal! I served this with turkey tonight and some potatoes. I think this would be a great dish to serve company. Thanks Chris for sharing. Pam

This was very simple to make. One thing I would add is I used fresh sugar snow peas and there is no frozen directions for cooking so I blanched them in boiling water for about 3 minutes. I will make this again for company!

I made this for Christmas dinner and got rave reviews from my three children who hate peas! The prepared dish is very pleasing to the eye, and the different textures blend beautifully.
