Growing up, my mom would always claim that she gave my sister and I homemade pea popsicles when we were babies. I would firmly deny the truth to her statements, because I HATE peas and always have. Her come-back was that I should try it with my own kids and see if they were the "hit" that they were with me. So... I put it to the test. 

I found the popsicle mold at the dollar store and remembered that I had frozen peas at home, left-over from a salad that I made for a BBQ.  With doubt in my mind, I made the popsicles. The following day, it was in the high 70's- great for popsicles, right!?! I recalled mom saying we would devour them and end up covered in peas, so I undressed Natalya prior to putting her in her highchair and letting her go at it. As the pictures attest, the pea popsicle was a hit.

So mom, I am sorry for doubting you all these years. And thanks for the wonderful and cooling treat for the baby. Everyone else- let your kids try the pea popsicle (or any other veggie they like) and put Momma Mo's recipe to the test.
