my kids eat peas!

it's true you know, they do. in the summer when it's baking hot, my kids LOVE frozen peas. but in the spring/winter/fall months my kids are not into frozen peas so much. so i've been trying different things to sneak them into their favorite foods, without totally dehydrating them and losing all the nutrients. today i found a way! below is how i did it, it's super simple but gets the job done for most kids. it's colorful and makes a great popping sound. :)

1. a box of macaroni and cheese, cooked up as usual
2. frozen peas (i suggest organic for peace of mind)
3. a couple hot dogs (turkey dogs or tofu...whatever)

make the mac n' cheese, but before adding the noodles to the sauce, toss in FROZEN peas and mix up. then add the noodles and cut up hot dogs. let cool slightly and serve. the peas will still be a little chill, and make a fantastic "popping" sound when eaten.

my kids are on their second bowl as i type. :)
