It’s the little things in life that make me happy.

I’ve said that before and I’ll probably continue to keep saying it, because it’s true. I’m trying to focus more on the smaller things that make me happy, such as my morning cup of coffee and cozy electric throw blanket that are much needed since I’m always cold.

You know what also makes me happy? Edamame. Whenever the hubster and I go out for sushi, we always order some steamed edamame as an appetizer. I just love having edamame as a snack, as simple as it is.

I mean, edamame isn’t fancy. It’s just soybeans, in a salted pod, and steamed. But for some reason, it always tastes so good when I order it out.

Along with edamame, I’m a mushroom lover. Always have been and always will be. The hubster doesn’t like mushrooms, which means that I got to devour this entire quinoa bowl myself, and I’m not complaining. Mushrooms makes the perfect addition to this bowl, don’t you think?
