Springtime means baby peas and for some of us, it won't be long until the tender pods are ready to pick from the garden. So, here's a sassy little recipe that you can add to your springtime menu. And, if you drop a bit or splash some ingredients on your apron, just follow the links to remove the stains.
Sassy Springtime Peas

Dropps laundry detergent is already a leader in the detergent industry in environmental awareness due to their lack of bulky packaging. Certified by the U.S. EPA Design for the Environment, their detergent packs simply dissolve in the washer and the only thing left is the lightweight outer pouch which until today was not recyclable by local collectors.
But, now that problem is gone because Dropps has partnered with TerraCycle to collect and recycle the plastic bags and make Dropps a zero waste product. Recycling is easy because TerraCycle offers free postage-paid shipping labels on their website and offers donations to charity for each pouch recycled. Learn more about Dropps and TerraCycle and celebrate a clean Earth Day tomorrow! (Photo: MML)
