Since I’m no longer at my day job doing corporate performance management evaluations on our websites, I have the time to surf the web for edamame recipes, and I came up with some good ones! Once I try them, I will report back.

Do you have any good edamame recipes that you’d like to share? I’d love to hear them! Oh and do any of you grow them in your garden? I read they are one of the easiest things in the world to grow, and the word easy caught my eye!
