These are so addictive. Alone charred sugar snap peas are delicious - super sweet, crunchy, and salty, and I love them with this Thai-style peanut sauce. A wonderful dish to truly celebrate spring.

Beautifully green and just stunning to serve, these grilled peas on a skewer are a serious level-up for the potentially plain pea. Slightly smokey, salty, and sweet - I thoroughly enjoy these.

Pesto, to me, is one of the most versatile sauces. Wait, is it a sauce? Or is it a dip? I actually don’t know what I would classify it as, other than a combination of ingredients that have the possibility to be simply delicious. As controversial as it may be, basil pesto, while very good, is not my favorite. Have dried tomatoes? Make dried tomato pesto. Garlic scapes, stinging nettle, or in this case, pea sprouts… give it a try.

I remember as a little girl sitting in the sink helping my mother shell peas. It is one of my favorite memories. Fresh peas from the garden are nothing like the gross green things that come from a can. Still to this day, if I have a bunch of peas to shell I will sit upon the counter with my back against the cabinets and my feet in the sink shelling these little green globes of deliciousness. It is one of my happiest places.
