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.

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.
