I can remember loving these from an early age. My kids also love them, especially when poured over a helping of mashed potatoes. Yum!

Ingredients:

• 1- 15 oz can of sweet peas or corn (or use about 2 c. frozen peas/corn + 2/3 c. water or chicken broth)

• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Bring peas and butter to a boil over medium heat.

Combine the milk, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small cup or bowl.
