Some times, spare and simple fill the bill. And that's the only way to describe these sugar snap peas, cooked in 10 minutes flat.

NUTRITION NOTES Low Cal. Low Carb. Perfect for continuing post-holiday penance. The really good thing, if you have the hungries, is that sugar snap peas really have to be chewed, one by one.
