DAD'S CREAMED PEAS & PEARL ONIONS
While I was growing up, it was our family tradition to make creamed peas with pearl onions for every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. My dad was not a happy camper if he didn't see this dish on the table. It was his favorite! I made it for my own family while our kids were growing up, and now my daughter makes this dish for her family. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada
