Sesame Snow Peas

Sesame Snow Peas

We don’t eat enough green.  I have made a promise to myself to incorporate more veggies into our meals.  The problem with this is that my husband doesn’t really like vegetables.  He will eat broccoli, green beans, and corn.  Recently, I have noticed that he will eat one or two bites of some other vegetables as long as those veggies aren’t peas or cabbage or squash or eggplants or Brussels sprouts or….. You see where I’m going?

I made Sesame Snow Peas to accompany Tam-Tam Shrimp. I like this dish because it is very easy to make and tastes great.  My husband even ate three snow peas.  We take what victories we can get.
