This recipe is a fresh take from a post I originally shared on my old blog. It was part of an Instagram challenge called #EasyPeasy, where we celebrated spring by sharing dishes featuring peas. Several years later, it still feels like the perfect way to welcome the season!

Hi, I'm A Bee In My Bonnet! I'm not a professional blogger—just someone who writes about whatever piques my interest. My posts are full of my own thoughts, feelings, and plenty of experiments. Most of the pictures here are snapped and edited by me, and when I share a recipe, it’s one I’ve personally created or tweaked after testing it out myself. This blog is my little corner to share slices of my world with you!
