Well, I saved the best for last! Chili Garlic Edamame. Heidi wanted us to enjoy a month of soy and I complied. Truth be told, I didn’t enjoy many of the tofu-based recipes—but, I had no trouble adding organic soy milk into almost anything edible. My favorite way to “get in” my soy on a […]

Got Hot Flashes?
