St. Patrick's Day
Green Pea Salad
This recipe is another from the files of my Nana – she took it to potlucks, especially at church and you could almost always count on making this along with a peach cobbler and some of her macaroni and cheese if someone passed away that we knew. As you know, I have been eating smarter…
