Edamame

I love Edamame more and more. If you don't know, edamame is soy beans and my stores carry it in the freezer section by peas and carrots! It's very good for you and easy to work into a lot of different recipes. This one was pretty dog gone tasty! We had it with a pork loin, and for several meals after that. Makes a lot!
