Grandad Bill always had the best garden. Peas and potatoes were staples. When Grandma Sadie asked my brother Steve what he wanted for his birthday, his reply was always Creamed Peas and Potatoes...and she made it for him. I miss my Grandma. Today I am honoring her memory with her recipe. I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as we do. She is gone but never forgotten.
