Creamy Sweet Peas

Teresa Ambra
Creamy Sweet Peas are utterly delightful. This is a terrific side dish for week night dinners when you're pressed for time since the dish can be whipped up in about 10 minutes. It also makes for a wonderful side for company or holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas. This gluten free recipe is a marvelous and delicious way to introduce your kids to peas!
