I don't usually do this, but...

This recipe seems too good not to post! I'm going to try it this week, so I"ll let you know. I love Edamame (thanks to Allie) and I LOVE hummus, so the combination may possibly be the greatest thing ever! I'll let you know!

Ellie Krieger's Edamame Hummus

Ingredients
2 cups shelled edamame, cooked according to package directions
1 cup silken tofu, briefly drained of excess liquid
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice, plus more, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, plus more, for garnish

Directions
Set 1 tablespoon of edamame aside for a garnish. Place the rest of the edamame, tofu, salt, garlic, oil, lemon juice[, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin in the bowl of a food processor and process until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, plus more lemon juice, if desired. Remove to a serving bowl and garnish with reserved edamame, and some cumin.

Creamed Corn

This is a completely simple side--a little labor intensive with the corn shucking and cutting, but well worth the effort. Brock's mom loved it and that is a big enough confirmation for me!

Ingredients
12 ears fresh corn, shucked
8 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
Directions
Remove corn from cob using a corn grater or knife, and mash the whole kernels a little. Place corn in a glass dish and add the butter on top. Cook in the microwave on high for 7 to 10 minutes, stopping to turn and stir a couple of times. Be careful not to over cook the corn. If corn seems too dry, add a little milk or water. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve as a side dish with favorite meal.
