Creamed Peas

CREAMED PEAS
*this is not the best creamed peas, it is designed to use milk which I usually have on hand instead of cream - there are better recipes but this is super easy, cheap and less fat

2 C frozen peas, thawed
2/3 C water
3 Tbsp butter
2/3 C milk
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sugar
dash of garlic salt
dash of onion salt
dash of cumin

Place peas and water in a pan and bring to a boil.  Add butter.  In a separate bowl combine milk, cornstarch and sugar.  Add milk and seasonings to the peas and cook until thick (a few minutes)
