What Can I Make With Frozen Peas
I usually have a freezer full of bags of sweet green peas. Peas are the “go to” vegetable in my house because it’s the one vegetable my kids will eat without a fuss. I’ll actually “cook” my peas by running hot water over the peas in a colander until they are just thawed, but not hot. Then, for the kids, I mix them in with some cottage cheese, and for the adults, I serve them on top of a nice, mixed salad full of other goodies like broccoli, chopped egg, mushrooms, grated cheese, and anything else I have in the house to make a salad complete. Now, everybody is happy. Kids are eating their vegetables, and liking them, and Mom and Dad have a great salad complete with snappy green peas covering the top. I rarely cook green peas in boiling water, because the taste is so sweet and fresh when they are just thawed.
Because my kids absolutely love green peas (must be the sweetness) I need to find a thousand-and-one ways to serve peas to my kids so they will not get bored and quit eating them. Have you ever had that happen? You finally find something your kids love to eat, so you feed it to them every day, and then, they hate it. I would like to avoid that trap if possible. Can you help me please?

We also like sweet green peas. I do also mix them with broccoli, mushrooms and grated cheese. I also add some grated corn. I just cook them with butter.

My wife cooks a lot of casseroles with chicken and/or tuna and she just adds peas in those casseroles. Yummy!

The recipe of frozen peas is great. And it is also easy and kids like this kind of stuff. I will taste this once.

Usually I prefer not to use frozzen peas but they are very helpful for emergencies.

If you decide to store on the freezer some peas then make sure they are carefully selected so you’ll have a quality product in store.

There is nothing like fresh vegetables so you better get smaller portions so you don’t have to store them for a while.

I like your idea of running hot water through the colander. It’s easy and quick. Thanks.
