Edamame


Lucky for us, Edamame (soybeans) doesn't have to be saved for just hibachi grills or sushi restaurants, you can make it at home!  Edamame can be found in the frozen veggie section of your local grocery store.  It takes only 5 minutes to cook and is such a yummy and healthy snack.  I introduced my sister to this about a month ago and she's hooked and so is her husband!  It's the perfect snack when you're looking for something to munch on, but aren't wanting to overindulge.  This snack is tastes delicious when sprinkled lightly with salt before eating and is a great source of protein, fiber, calcium, and vitamins A and C.  You can also add shelled Edamame to dishes like salads, pasta dishes and couscous.
