Tips: 
  • Substitute snap peas for other seasonal vegetables, such as green beans, snow peas, broccoli or your favorites.
  • Arrowroot is a finely ground white starch from the arrowroot plant. Arrowroot is easy to digest and is high in calcium. Use arrowroot to replace cornstarch for an excellent thickener.
