Though traditional hummus is a snacking favorite, it can get a little boring. Try this Asian-inspired recipe that swaps in cannellini beans and edamame for the garbanzo beans. Instead of tahini, a touch of sesame oil adds a nutty, toasty flavor to round out this healthy, green-hued dip. Spread it on your next sandwich or use it as a dip for crispy lavash or taro chips.

What to buy: Shelled edamame are sold two ways—cooked or uncooked. If you buy the cooked, frozen ones, all you have to do is thaw them for this recipe. If you buy the uncooked ones, follow the cooking directions on the package.

How to Thaw Beans
Remove your frozen bags from the freezer and place directly in a saucepan with warm water. You can also run the bag under warm water in the sink. Toss some of the frozen beans into soups and stews, as they will immediately defrost due to the dish's high temperatures.

Tip
How to Store Beans
Dried beans come in all different colors, shapes, and sizes, though their storage methods stay consistent across the board. Beans should be transferred to a food-safe container with a sealing lid. If beans are left in their original packaging, they'll dry out faster. Place the container in a cool, dry place that is away from any sunlight. You'll want to cook them within a year for ultimate freshness, though some beans have known to last for years.

Why Do We Celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25?
There are several reasons Christmas is celebrated on Dec. 25. The date is nine months after March 25, a day recognized by Christians as Annunciation. It was the day Mary was told she would was having a baby. The nine months that follow are an approximation of Jesus’ birth. Dec. 25 also coincides with pagan Winter Solstice celebrations like Saturnalia' and Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Since they were historically celebrated around that time of year there was precedent for holiday festivities during this time of year.
