:) Oh you lucky girl!!! They are best eaten raw!!! Just give them a quick wash and throw them into a salad of your choice and enjoy! I make a cherry tomato/sugar snap pea salad that is nothing more than cherry tomatoes cut in half, sugar snap peas cut in half, mayo, a little diced onion and a pinch of seasoned salt and VIOLA! you have a delicious little tasty salad!!!

You may also steam them, or saute them in butter and just use a little salt and pepper to taste.
AND....They are wonderful to just eat fresh by themselves. I think you will love them JG!

1. Cook the minced bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the fat has rendered out and the bacon has begun to crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leave the bacon fat in the skillet. Add the sugar snap peas, and toss to coat with the fat. Cook and stir until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
