| Want more soy in your life? Edamame (the Japanese word for green soybeans), once found only at Japanese restaurants, are now available almost everywhere, in the frozen vegetable case. (Guess what—the restaurants buy them frozen, too.) Steam them and eat them as a snack or an appetizer Japanese-style, squeezing the beans from the pod into your mouth. Season them by tossing with a bit of sea salt. Or, mix the beans into rice, mashed potatoes, soups and salads. They make attractive garnishes on hors d’oeuvres and other dishes. We love that something this tasty and fun is so good for us.

| We’ve all grown up with Smucker’s in the pantry as a quick and easy way to get our PB&J fix. Now the company is offering an opportunity for one reader to replenish his or her supply. Smucker’s is giving away one gift basket of products to one lucky NIBBLE reader, along with an invitation for all readers to enter its second-annual “Spreading Smucker’s Traditions” contest. There, one grand prize winner will win a five day, four night family trip for eight to Walt Disney World Resort. Visit THE NIBBLE’S Jams, Jellies, Preserves & Peanut Butter Section for your chance to win the gift basket and log on to Smuckers.com to learn how to win the trip to Walt Disney World.
One winner will receive a gift basket bursting with Smucker’s products. There’s something for every meal, including snacks and dessert! Have pancakes with syrup for breakfast, a PB&J sandwich for lunch, muffins for a snack, relish with meats for dinner and chocolate sauce on your ice cream for dessert. It’s fun to spend the day with Smucker’s! Enjoy the basket when the goodies are gone.

For a quick and easy first course/appetizer, serve a trio of miniature blinis or toast points, each with a different color of caviar. Put a dab of crème fraîche on each toast and top with a different caviar. Depending on your budget, try salmon, golden whitefish and a flavored whitefish caviar; or treat your guests to American sturgeon. Without the sturgeon caviar, it’s a relatively inexpensive and high wow-factor dish. The caviar blinis or toast points also make exciting or hors d’oeuvres.
