peas and thank you

This week’s recipe or should I say reci-pea? is inspired by Mama Pea’s Mmmm Sauce . I have read so many good times about this recipe I had to try it but I was out of almonds so I’m going to have to try Mama Pea’s true recipe when I get stocked back up. Until then however I think that this is a pretty tasty substitute.
