I hide peas in mac and cheese. hidden veggies = eaten veggies. I also shred carrots into meatloaf.

This is one of my favorite simple sides. A simple way to “jazz it up” is to add some diced baby bella mushrooms and a little cajun seasoning. Skip the cajun if you don’t like the spice.

You can make it a complete meal – one that is fancier-tasting than it costs – by adding some sauteed shrimp or scallops if you can get them cheap.

I heard this morning that the price of rice has doubled in the last few months. Wonder what effect this will have on rice-based dishes. Even with the price doubling it will be cheaper than a meal heavy on meats and expensive, store-bought produce. I imagine it will have a much higher impact in other parts of the world.

Peas are a huge staple in my meals. They are the only green veggie my kid will eat! This is perfect!
