Hi, I’m Lindsay, a home cook based in Wilmington, NC. Please Pass the Peas is where I share recipes and stories about the food I feed my family.

We try to eat wholesome meals based on fresh, seasonal ingredients and simple, scratch cooking. For me, that means lots of whole grains and local produce. It does not mean skimping on desserts or eschewing classic comfort foods.

I’m always up for a challenge in the kitchen, but this site is not about tackling intimidating recipes. It’s about trying to make everyday meals just a little bit more special, celebrating the seasons, and still (usually) getting dinner on the table before anyone has a meltdown.

Recipe questions? Please leave them as a comment on the recipe post. That way, everyone can benefit from the answer and if someone else has a better solution than I do, they can chime in too.

Other questions or comments? You can reach me at Lindsay [at] pleasepassthepeas [dot] com.
