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

1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice, plus more, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, plus more, for 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.

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.

Sweet Potato Fries from Ellen
Here is another of Ellen's recipes--her Pumpkin Bread is already a fan favorite around my house (I've eaten half the loaf personally)! Thanks Ellen! I miss and love you! I'm posting this just as a "side" because I don't know if a potato is a vegetable or not! Is it?
sweet potato fries
just take a sweet potato, and cut it into strips or your desired chunkiness for eating
spread some extra virgin olive oil on a cooking sheet, and throw the sweet potato strips on the sheet.
mix the potatoes around the oil with your fingers, you'll get messy!
sprinkle some sea salt or regular salt over them and pop in the oven 400 degrees for about 15 min, or your desired crispiness.
sweet potatoes are rich in fiber and antioxidants and loaded with vitamin A and have a tiny bit of calcium. - sorry i have to include the healthiness of why it's good for you :)
