I thought I’d do an homage to peas for this Friday Feedings – starting with this Crunchy Pea Salad.
You might be asking why peas?
Well peas are not my friends right now even though I do love them in this Creamy Shrimp with Mushrooms and Peas!
Our sweet yet wildman John Grayson decided to put a pea up his nose this week. And when I say put up I mean sniff it so hard up there that a pediatrician and an ENT could not get it out. So after spending 6 hours at two different doctors offices on Tuesday, Wednesday we had to get him sedated to get it out. Lord help me! All of this of course had to happen with John out of town. Luckily we have one rockstar babysitter that helped me with sweet Amelia.
So even though this Spring Salad with Asparagus, Peas, Prosciutto and Burrata has been my favorite lately we are swearing off peas in our house for a while…until he decides to stick something else up his nose. Oh wait did I not mention that after all that he tried the next day with some rice until I got my crazy angry eyes on him. 
With all that to say I am soooo glad the weekend is finally here. Mainly because we will be devouring this pizza tonight with our friends. Each couple is in charge of their own pizza and this one is ours! Vodka Sauce and Sausage Pizza.
Amelia has been enjoying finger foods lately so I know she will enjoy dinner tonight! Even though things have been a little crazy here seeing this makes it all worth it!
So tell me this sticking things up the nose phase will end soon! If not send me prayers and wine please! Have a great weekend yall! Get yourselves in the kitchen and around the dinner table!

Oh no!! I have heard of plenty of kids putting peas up their nose – thankfully mine never did. These dishes are a much better use of them 🙂

The pea up the nose reminds me of when I was about eleven years old….and now that I am over sixty, that was awhile ago! Back then we were allowed to babysit young and being an only child, I was asked by our town dentist to babysit their three children. My mom was a few streets away so no problem and I sat for my young years loving to babysit for the three toddlers and learned so much. On Halloween the teens were throwing hard corn at windows and little Brad got one up his nose. He was screaming and the more he screamed, the further up it went. I was so frightened but all of a sudden a light went on in my head and almost like a reflex, when he breathed in while screaming, I slapped the back of his head and out it came
As an eleven year old and now am over sixty, I was babysitting for the dentist in town. One of the three children got a hard piece of hard corn at Halloween up his nose. Screaming only pulled it up further and further. All of a sudden as I was ready to call my mom for help, a light went on in my head, and when he breathed out screaming, I reached out and slapped the back of his head and out it came. I was a real hero after that and all through my school years I kept that babysitting job….for twenty five cents an hour I kept three small ones for even whole weekends….and learned so much for I was an only child. Just thought I would share that funny memory. Back in those days we were given so much responsibility and I loved it and thrived.

How funny! Ya the more freaked out I got the more he sniffed it up further. And he thought it was funny until the doctors were trying to get it out. Sadly he’s stubborn like his mama and daddy – so we will probably be back again for the same thing again.

Haha, I used to do the same thing as a toddler and it wasn’t limited only to peas! 😉

Everything looks so good! I love the combination of peas and cucumbers – a great summer side!

Lovely and delicious! I’m smitten with the idea of combining peas with cucumbers and radishes – sounds so, so good!!
