Minty Pea Dip
Makes 2 cupsWell now here’s a wondrous little ditty—perfect for a snack or appetizer! With the tahini, lemon, olive oil, and garlic flavors it could be called “pea hummus.” This mixture was very quick and easy to make and is satisfying without weighing you down. I’ve been eating it with carrots and cauliflower to dip. Super yum!
INGREDIENTS
3 cups frozen green peas
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoons tahini
coarse salt and pepper
vegetables for dipping
INSTRUCTIONS
Step One: Cook peas in salted boiling water until tender, 1 minute. Transfer to an ice-water bath; drain.
Step Two: Pulse peas in a food processor with mint, lemon zest and juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and tahini.
Step Three: Season with salt and pepper; drizzle with oil.

A Vegetarian Cooking Blog
The art of keeping a "scrap cookbook" has been passed down by the women in my family. I learned from both my granny and my mom. A scrap cookbook is essentially a scrapbook for your kitchen. A place to keep favorite recipes, ones you plan to try in the future, and ones given to you by friends and family. It is also a place to stash cooking guides, kitchen tips, recipe adjustments, food gift ideas, etc., and to make notes about food-related happenings, (ie: "Baked these cookies for the holidays and everyone freaked their freak!"). This blog is essentially an electronic version of my scrap cookbook.
I am a just a vegetarian girl who loves to cook and who is often asked to share recipes or provide advice as to good sources for recipes. Since I'm big on the procrastination celebrations, and typically never end up getting recipes to people, I decided to start this blog as exercise in self-discipline and a way to keep all my cooking and kitchen stuff in one place.
My intrigue with all things culinary began in my Granny’s kitchen at a very young age. I fully believe that you learn the most about cooking from others, so I hope that is the case as you peruse my blog.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy! ♥
