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.

This Cranberry, Edamame and Mushroom Quinoa Bowl is packed with nutritious ingredients to make a healthy and satisfying meal. The tart cranberries, steamed edamame, mushrooms and feta make a delicious dish that easy to prepare and ready in no time!

Nowadays, I always keep a bag of edamame in my freezer for those times when I just need to satisfy my cravings. It makes a great addition to salads, pastas, and soup. It also makes a deliciously healthy snack, too.

So I guess it’s no surprise that this Cranberry, Edamame and Mushroom Quinoa Bowl is filled with lots of edamame, along with my other love, mushrooms! I took some of my favorite ingredients and jammed them into this healthy quinoa bowl. The combination may sound a little strange, but trust me, it’s delicious!

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?

And then there’s the dried cranberries, feta, and lemon basil dressing. This Cranberry Edamame and Mushroom Quinoa Bowl is nothing short of flavorful and creates the most unique and fresh taste. From the tartness of the cranberries, to the creamy feta cheese and fresh lemon basil dressing, the flavors will wow your taste buds.

And besides being a breeze to whip up, this quinoa bowl is a great way to indulge in some protein and other healthy ingredients. It also makes for a great leftover lunch or dinner, just in case you have any left!

So the next time you’re reaching for that quinoa, grab some edamame, cranberries and mushrooms to make these easy and nutritious Cranberry, Edamame and Mushroom Quinoa Bowl! I guarantee you’ll love it just as much as I do!

    This bowl is speaking to me, Gayle. I want to dive into that right now and it’s not even 10am. I suppose if I threw an egg on there, it could be a breakfast dish, lol. I LOVE edamame, too. So much. There’s a local sushi restaurant where they serve it steamed with a touch of salt and chili sauce. So good. Pinning this one ’cause I have to make later. Thanks for sharing this bowl of deliciousness, girl!

    It really is the little things–I’m in complete agreement with you. The big things don’t happen too often and they don’t matter as much as the little ones do. We just have to make sure to notice it all before it passes us by. 🙂

    Gayle, thank you so much for sharing this! I am absolutely in love with the combo of cranberry, edamame and mushroom. Looking at my bowl of oatmeal right now and we’re not in agreement… Heh. Heh. Also, all of this deliciousness over a bed of quinoa? Yowsers! Hope you have an awesome weekend. Off to pin this. 🙂
