  1. I like side dishes that can be put together in a matter of minutes. I used frozen peas, as I still like a crunch to them. I found that the 1/2 cup milk and 3 tablespoons flour made a VERY thick roux. So I will cut the amount of flour to 2 tablespoon. I made this for Zaar World Tour 8 for the Bistro Babes team.
     
  2. This is very good. Not lots of spices but comfort food. We eat creamed peas often but have never eaten them with potatoes before. I used fresh potatoes that I cut into small cubes then cooked in the microwave until just barely tender. Then I added them to the cream sauce. Then I folded in the peas so they wouldn't get mushy. The only thing I added was about 1 Tablespoon of butter. When DH came to get his food...he said, "What's that in the peas?" He took some. Made for ZWT #6 -2010.
     
  3. This was easy and what a comfort dish! I remember my Mom making this too but it never occured to me me to make it. I used bagged potatoes and frozen peas so had to adjust the liquid a bit but it came out creamy and wonderful. My daughter even ate this and she hates peas! Thanks.
     
  4. This was good, I used half and half and added in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and some cayenne, thanks for sharing Dienia...Kitten:)
     
  5. Yummy! I love my Mom's creamed potatoes & I have fond memories of a friend's Mom making creamed peas when I was a kid. I don't know why I never thought of this but it was a quick, easy & tasty down-home side dish!! Since I used skim milk, it was really low in fat, too.
