Summer Salad of Sugar Snap Peas, Corn, and Tomatoes
Finally the heat has arrived and Atlanta is having some great weather! For me that means it’s grilling season. Honestly I grill year 'round, but it’s more fun to sit out on your porch when the weather is nice, sipping a glass of wine and grilling dinner. Recently, I was making BBQ chicken and I decided to make a fresh and simple sugar snap pea salad to go along with it. Another great reason ...

Roasted Salmon with Edamame Succotash and Herb Dill Sauce
Succotash is a Southern staple. It typically is served with lima beans and corn, but we jazzed it up by substituting edamame for the lima beans to still give the starch but utilize what was in the freezer. When making this dish at home you can substitute any other vegetable you have on hand. Sara Ann and I happened to have some potatoes, corn, edamame and bell pepper on hand, but you could ...
Edamame Hummus
Edamame hummus is a great alternative to a traditional chick pea hummus. Edamame is packed with plant based protein and fiber! The bright green color of the edamame makes this dish visually appealing as well. We utilized mint in the recipe to give the hummus a refreshing zing but still stayed true to hummus incorporating tahini and olive oil. You can traditionally serve with ...
Spicy Edamame Dipping Sauce
We can't get enough of dipping sauces! Steamed edamame is a simple appetizer or side dish that you can whip out on a moments notice when guests come over unannounced. Soy sauce is your typical dipping sauce, but we wanted to put a healthy spin on the savory umami flavor. The issue comes when trying to find a good dipping sauce as soy sauce and even low sodium soy sauce can still contain ...
