I have to admit I have not always been the biggest fan of peas. I never totally disliked them, but they were not always my favorite. Now the fireman, he won’t even touch any kind of peas. This is totally a “make when he is at the station” kind of thing. But hang in here with me! I do remember as a kid my mom sometimes making peas that had these little white onions in them. I remember thinking they tasted so good because the added onion flavor with the peas. So I thought it would be fun to try and\u00a0doctor them up a little to make them taste a little more flavorful. So I came up with Mint Buttery Peas. Me and three of my kids think it was a success! (So that translates to a win in my book!) \"\"<\/p>\n

I just used a 10 oz bag of frozen peas but if you have them from your garden great! \u00a0Place peas in a sauce pan with about a half inch of water on the bottom. \u00a0Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to medium. \u00a0Cook for about 5 minutes. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

While that is cooking chop up your onion and mint. \u00a0I am not fortunate enough to have a garden at my house but I do always keep some herbs growing in pots on my front and back porch. \u00a0The staples I always seem to have are mint, basil, oregano, and rosemary. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

When your 5 minutes is up drain the peas in a colander and then return the pan back to the burner with the heat on low. \u00a0Add your butter and then pour the peas back in and stir around until your butter is all melted. \u00a0Turn off the heat when the butter is all melted. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Add in your onion and mint. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

To make it quick and easy, (I like that), I just used jarred minced garlic. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Add that on in! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally add a little salt to taste and stir it all up! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

And there you go! \u00a0Mint Buttery Peas…with yummy onions and garlic. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n
