When you're looking for ways to cut food costs –and get your kids to eat more green veggies – canned peas can help you do both! And if you think there's no way to stop your pickiest eater from picking over the green peas, you might be in for a delicious surprise.

From Le Sueur (very small young peas that tiny fingers can't resist) to Goya green pigeon peas to mix in yummy coconut rice, Balducci's can help you explore new ways to get your kids excited for "more peas, please!"

Try putting a twist on spaghetti night with a bacony Alfredo pasta your kids will clamor for. In a saucepan, combine melted butter, heavy cream, fresh garlic, a dash of Kosher salt, and a can of Signature SELECT® sweet peas. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then whisk in freshly grated parmesan cheese and crispy chopped bacon. Toss with cooked tri-color rotini pasta and garnish with extra bacon sprinkled on top. Pick up a loaf of Balducci's fresh-baked garlic bread for a satisfyingly simple meal.

Stock your pantry with deliciously versatile canned peas and other time-saving veggies from your neighborhood Balducci's.
