Minty Spinach-Pea Dip

By

When I saw that I was getting mint, spinach, and peas in my CSA box tonight, I knew that I wanted to try a fresh pea dip.

1 C fresh, shelled peas
1 C fresh spinach
2 T olive oil
1 t crushed garlic
freshly ground sea salt
freshly ground pepper
3 T fresh mint, chopped

Blanch the peas and spinach in boiling water until the peas brighten in color, approximately one minute. Plunge into cold water, then drain. In a blender, place all of the ingredients except the sea salt, pepper, and fresh mint. Blend until the consistence you want. Gently stir in the mint. Season to taste. Serve with crackers or vegetable crudite.

    We aren't big mint fans, but I always have TONS of it growing everywhere!

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island.

Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
