I love beans. They're one of the most nourishing foods on the planet and they taste good. Full of vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber and they're low in fat. You know beans might just be the perfect food.
So this week, I thought it was time to honor the wonderful bean by sharing a few of my favorite bean recipes with you.
But first, I thought I'd share this story. Justin and I went to Colorado for a visit and our good friends made a wonderful dinner for us. They cooked up some beans we had never had before. They tasted wonderful and were so much fun to eat.
To eat these chunky, green colored beans, you simply squeezed the beans out of their pod and into your mouth, but the fun came when the little beans squirted out of the pod and sometimes right off of the table. It was a riot.
These beans were called Edamame or (edible soybeans). They're Japanese and they come in a frozen package. You simply boil them in water and eat. You can buy them pre-shelled, too, but that's not as much fun.
So in honor of our friends helping Justin and I discovering a new, nutritious food I declare today "Let's try Edamame soybeans" day.
