Lindsay's Pea Salad

1 1/2 bags of frozen peas

8 slices of bacon (I bake mine in the oven at 400, on a broiler pan for 20 minutes) crumbled

1 large shallot, minced

(chill above ingredients overnight, and mix together)

Dressing

1/4 cup mayo

Juice of one whole lemon (I microwave it for 10 seconds, before halving, to really get a lot of juice)

1-2 Tbsp fresh Dill

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp granulated garlic

10 grinds of white pepper

Whisk together until totally combined and then spoon over peas, bacon, and shallots.

I learned to cook from my grandmother, who was a self-taught home cook. I was encouraged to cook at home by my mother, who allowed me to experiment and feed our family while I was growing up. Now, I cook for my husband and four children, who have perfected the role of taste-testers. What I've come up with are simple, family-friendly dishes based on my grandmother's recipes and my own understanding of how food works together. Gone are the canned and processed ingredients of yore-- instead you'll find fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients combined in ways to suit every palate, and simple enough that even the most novice home cook can execute them perfectly. In short, it's not quite my grandmother's cooking, anymore.
