little lovelies-edamame

Way back when, when I had cable (ah glorious cable) I used to watch Dr. Oz religiously...that deserves a little lovely of it's own. Dr. Oz raved about edamame and at that moment I realized that those little beans were my favorite part of my 'BD's Mongolian Grill' meal. Grant eats peas by the bowlful so I decided to pick up some of these babies and let me tell I can't control myself. I love them, they are super easy to prepare. I just throw a cup or so in a bowl and pop em' in the microwave for a minute or two and wah lah! I keep a bowl out on my counter for easy access. They're wonderful-high in protein, omega fatty acids, fiber blah blah blah healthy stuff. Yahoo for things made in China...or maybe they're Japanese...who knows the difference.

Do you serve them as a side too? Or would they count as your protein for a meal?

Well considering I live with the "Great White Hunter" we unfortunately don't have very many meatless meals! I usually just have them as a snack or a side.

I used to LOVE edamame until I made it one evening and threw up the whole night. Now I can't eat it without getting nauseous! Boo.

My sister just cooked with some edamame at her house while I was there, and I hadn't tried them before. I loved them! Thanks for the reminder. I think I'll pick some up this week.
