I totally agree with pammyowls's review. For some reason, I didn't think that my grandson liked peas so I halved this recipe. He totally surprised me when he scarfed up most of the bowl and asked me when we could have these again. Kids! *roll*. Thanks so much breezer, for a new hit at home. Congrats on your football win......again.....for the 3rd week in a row! I sure as heck hope that you bought lottery tickets! :D Made for your win in the football pool.

As usual, breezermom has posted a delicious recipe! Made as directed, and we all loved it! Thanks!

Very yummy and went perfectly with steak. Good enough for a special dinner to serve for a celebratory evening or to serve when guests come over. Great flavors all around. In addition to the prosciutto, added some diced cooked bacon that I had leftover from another meal. Thank you, Breezer, for sharing! Made it for "For your Consideration" tag game.

Very easy, and enjoyed! The 21-mo-old was not sure about these, will upgrade if she devours the leftovers. Made for Spring Photo Tag.
