I love them picked, the sweetness balanced by the vinegar. It isn't quite a dessert, but like you said, sweeter veggies help with sugar cravings.Ann (-50 lbs in -60 lb challenge)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17156265221593608891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380254805241116389.post-80810511650066375062010-08-03T00:40:33.429-04:002010-08-03T00:40:33.429-04:00Just found sugar snap peas!!

I've actually made them into a smoothie too - I put the milk in a blender with ice, and add banana chunks. The result is like a chocolate banana shake - but a much healthier version of one. Even when I don't want to go through all that work, it is easy for me to simply peel a banana and pour a glass of chocolate milk. It is a quick hit of something yummy, when I get the odd craving for something decadent. Give it a try and let me know what you think, Kathy!Ann (-50 lbs in -60 lb challenge)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17156265221593608891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380254805241116389.post-70356735059673931332010-08-02T10:24:07.886-04:002010-08-02T10:24:07.886-04:00Hey Ann,Sounds like a good idea.

I may try your faux recipe.kathyj333https://www.blogger.com/profile/15110175842037413974noreply@blogger.com
