I would like to share with you an absolutely delicious and healthy recipe that my guests at my March 15 boot camp (Scotts Valley, CA) loved. I have been getting requests for the recipe from some of them so I thought I would just post it here.
This is such an easy spread to make so here it is:
2 cups of edamame beans
3 garlic cloves
2” section of fresh ginger
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup of water
Blend everything together into a paste. Depending on how thick you want it you may need to add a little more water.
If you want to make it a little spicy, add some cayenne pepper or fresh chillies. You can get edamame beans in most grocery stores (under $4 at Costco for a large container).
You can enjoy this spread on whole wheat crackers, or with fresh fruit for a nutritious snack or light meal.
I am so excited to share that I made my television debut on The View from the Bay! It was a lot easier than I expected. I thought I would be more nervous, but I wasn’t. I learned about cooking on TV. You actually prepare everything ahead of time and basically pretend to cook! Live television is fun. At one point, Spencer poured all the oil into the ingredients when I wasn’t looking and when I went to stir fry the curry I didn’t have any oil. In fact, I think I told Spencer to put the oil in because I wasn’t paying attention. Ah! Fortunately, the team was very experienced. Spencer made a joke while locating more oil and it turned out great!
