Just out of curiousity, how is it that peas count as a vegetable? Aren't they a starch?

The peas are 1 cup for 6 servings, which would not be enough to count as a starch. That is probably why it counts as a veg. The recipes that come from the LA chef are broken down by calories and nutritional value, so some of the breakdowns may seem weird, but they are correct.

Okay, that makes sense to me. Thanks. I was just a bit worried!

I gotta tell you... this stuff is AMAZING...except, the way my best friend and I used to eat this in college (this was seriously our favorite meal) Keep in mind...we made this as cheap as possible. but it's sooooo good!

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can peas (or frozen)
a little bit of soy milk
1 can tuna

mix all this together

then add those brown chinese noodle things.

OMG soooooooo good. WAY better than the egg noodles.
