This was THE best kansasgirl - I had to print the recipe out for several people. Everyone loved it and I'm so glad I ran across this. It was simple and soooooooooo flavorful!!!! I ended up not reheating it and it was still good at room temp. Even the pea haters loved it!!

THANK YOU!!!!!

Yeap, reminds me of a cute little ditty I used to say when I was a kid:

I always eat my peas with honey
I have done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife

No clue where I got this, just came to mind talking about peas.
