I’m embarrassed to say I make this vegetable dish.  It’s not healthy.. it’s doesn’t have ANY redeeming quality’s OTHER than my kids LOVE it… so if you have a hard time getting your kids to eat vegetables.. this might be the side dish for you.

I remember my grandmother making this when I was a teenager.  I think she called it succotash.  I Googled succotash.. and nothing looked quite like this.

Here’s #2.. he starts in on it before it’s out of the pan.

Here’s what you need:

Butter, salt, pepper, peas, corn, flour, milk and onion

Melt the butter in a sauce pan… (I like to use a 10″ frying pan though)

Add the onions.. cook until translucent.

Add peas, corn and flour.

Salt and pepper and mix together.

Add milk.  Stir together.. it will thicken and become the consistency

of gravy.  (Don’t tell anyone you are eating vegetables and gravy.. that’s

just embarrassing!)

Yes, this child DOES sit down and eat his food.. he just likes to sample

the meal first.  AND.. yes he does close his eyes when he bites into this

dish.  I don’t know why.

See that green arrow point at the red dot on the crock?  That’s an inventory

sticker from my eBay stuff.  I took the crock out of inventory (because I

liked it) and never took the sticker off… good thing my mother doesn’t read this

blog!
