I declare September as my vegetable month.
You know, that month when I promise that most of the food that I’ll be cooking has vegetables in them.
I had a mental health check these past few days.. and I know most of what I’ve been eating are very unhealthy.
I need to change that.
But don’t get me wrong, I won’t give up my chocolates, cookies, cakes and deep fried pork bellies.
It’s just that I guess I need to eat less of them now..
I think Zucchini Chocolate Cake sprung from this kind of state of mind, hee.
Have your cake, your chocolate and your vegetable in one dish… LOL!
I’ll probably try making one a few days from now…
This recipe is a great recipe for South Beach Diet phase 1 because it’s low fat and it has no carbs. It’s also nice to make even if you’re not on SBD because it tastes great. The original recipe called for snow peas and scallions but I saw some good-looking sweet peas and I want to check out what’s the difference.
..and you know what? THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!

Yum, this looks delicious 😀
Looks good! Nothing beats stir fried vegetables for a quick meal. And it’s so easy to make variations of vegetables!
i love stir fried veggies. easy and delish. this one is really mouth watering. I read your about me page. I was amazed that you are a law enforcer by profession. I thought you are a chef or someone who really studies culinary. I love that twist. 🙂
Pareho lang ba ang sweet pea at snow pea? Meron pa akong naibili dito yung sugar snap peas… kakalito hehe.
Delicious, love sweet pea in there. Thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul blog hop.
Love the sound of this dish! Green peas are delicious.
Sweet peas are really one of my fav and love how crunchy they taste all the time. This looks like a perfect light and quick meal !
Crunchy sweet peas, one of my favorite veggies, you know what? i make it as a vegetable toppings in lucky pancit canton, voila! instant meal ahaha
How’s Ykaie? was not able to blog hop lately, am full of backlogs 🙁
Love the recipe!
Those are definitely snow peas or a similar variety. Sweet peas (like sugar snap peas) are round and fat the whole way around, without any flat parts, and taste quite a bit different.
