I love discovering "new" snacks. Thanks to one of my scrappin' friends, Beverly, I was introduced to the world of wasabi. Beverly brought a small bag of wasabi peas to our latest scrappin' event. Their appearance peaked my interest... small green peas, covered in white coating! I was thinking white chocolate or yogurt covering, but couldn't get my head around the idea of putting either on a green pea! Once I popped one in my mouth, it took me completely by surprise... can you say, "Fire!" It was hot, but best of all, it had a nice little crunch. It gave this burning sensation on the roof of my mouth that was actually pleasant in a weird sort of way! I headed to Albertson's & picked up a bag of wasabi peas, wasabi "trail mix", and then at World Market I found wasabi cracker mix! 1/2 cup serving runs me about 127 calories. To make them even more appealable... I read that spicy foods can actually raise your metabolism. Rev it up & Bring on the wasabi peas!
