Super easy, especially with little ones running around. And, they ate it too because there wasn't a lot of different tastes to it. Good for left over carrots and peas too.

My family did not like this it was easy but taste was not that big. Not some thing my family even wanted to eat.

This is good, but I added 1 T. of butter and used half and half, then stirred in one clove of minced garlic and 1 T. of grated parmesan at the end. Delicious!

My family is not a huge fan of peas or carrots but I tried this recipe anyway as part of a Thanksgiving meal. This was delicious. Your children won't even realize they are eating vegetables.

OMG- I could sit and eat the entire pot of this. It is absolutely delicious. I added a bit of ground cloves per the "tip" that is published next to the picture.
