I joined a CSA this year and I can't tell you how excited I am each week to see what comes in our box. There has been lots of lettuce and spinach so far. But last week we received snap peas. I just love that fresh, crisp vegetable.
I planted some snap peas just outside my garage and it has provided me with a pre-dinner snack each night as I walk to the mail box. What fun!
Give this recipe a try. You will enjoy it!
