Let the creative juices flow

So, I am not much of a recipe follower.  This realization comes with its pros and cons. 
Pros:
*I can feel free in the kitchen, as opposed to being locked in by the steps of a recipe
*When I correctly complete a recipe, I am ecstatically proud of myself, no matter how simple the task
*Forget the recipes, let's just see what I can create out of certain ingredients

Cons:
*One might be fearful fo receiving care from a nurse who has trouble following simple directions.  No fear, food measurements and med measurements are two very different things.
*I've had more failed recipes than I care to admit
*Grocery bill

So today, I was curious how brown rice, edamame and craisins would taste mixed together.  I am a sucker for a sweet/savory combo.  Actually it turned out amazingly well and I get to be proud of my creation.
Here's the recipe-Carli style:
Cooked brown rice-you can figure out how much you want
Steamed edamame-used a bag of already shelled
Bag of craisins
Mix together, add sea salt to taste.
In separate bowl-combine honey, rice vinegar and olive oil.  I don't measure, so just pour until it tastes good to you.  Whisk together and then pour over the rice mixture.
Enjoy!
