If you can't live by chocolate alone...

If you feel that it is important to balance your chocolate eating with the occasional green vegetable, here is a great recipe; it's courtesy of one of the readers of this blog, Esta, who provided it as a Comment. Having eaten at her house, I can verify that any food she recommends will be great; so I am re-printing the recipe here, in case you missed it in the Comments section:

Here is a very simple and fabulous recipe for sugar snap peas. Serves 4 as a side dish.

1/2 lb sugar snap peas
1 tbs. olive oil
1 tbs. chopped shallots or red onion
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme or 1/3 tsp dried
Kosher salt to taste.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread foil on a large cookie sheet and arrange peas in one layer. Sprinkle with oil and shallots and thyme and coat well. Sprinkle with a bit of salt. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Absolutely delicious.

  1. That does sound very good.

    Am I losing my mind, or was there just a video of a cat dancing to the Rocky theme only moments ago?

    Maybe I'm just going crazy.
