the muffins did sound good.  I never was one who could eat a muffin and that

was breadfast.  I'd want something else too.  but an egg and a muffin I could

do easily.    I had tried a bit of so. Beach diet and there was an egg and

spinach muffin that was good.  I dont know where the recipe might be unless it

is in one of their books.

 

I like 's recipes.  ;

Now THOSE would be SOME muffins.

lol

And if I ever do, I'll be sure to video it.

I can't believe I'm a video making fool at my age.

So fun!!

Melody

P.S. you should have seen me while I was watching the Outer Limits earlier. I

took my BIG tray of sunnies and just sat there and picked off all the black

hulls and harvested the sunnies.

So peaceful!!!

(made by grinding some flax seeds in the Vitamix, then mixing about 2

tablespoons with 1/3 cup of WARM water, cover and let it " gel " for about 5

minutes-will be the exact consistency of an egg) Use the flax in place of egg in

extra flax in your diet. You can make regular sweet muffins (throw in some

berries, nuts, seeds, etc) or make savory muffins with herbs, cheese, and some

You let the corn dry (on cob or off) and then you grind it as  you need it?

I don't eat corn, but my daughter does (home grown, non gmo) I grow japanese

popcorn and grind the kernals into cornmeal, then make her savory muffins with

fresh herbs, cheese, scallions, spinach, swiss chard, and other goodies from the

garden-she loves them! My muffins are gluten free, but delicious-nice and moist.

I don't know about lentils but my bean sprouts turned bitter once they got 

about 2 " .  I figure they need to go outside as soon as we have a place for

them.  Having some boys from church come over on Sat as they need money for

scout camp.  We are going to work them and have some dirt moved and a garden by

the fence done and I think my square foot above ground put up.   I need to

decide where we are going to put a fountain that is in the sunroom now as I need

the space for a storage cabinet for appliances and " stuff " .  Think I'll put it

out back where we had a patio of pavers put in. Haven't sat out there but maybe

with the water we will.  I have to have some plug put out there  to plug it

in.  I'll find an electrician to do that.  i want one out front as well.   I

probably will end up extending the patio pavers,too, but might have to buy more

sand before then.    I will probably put some of the containers out there to

grow some veggies so

will have to check out there.  We could be out much of the year.

Oh,you call them hats??? How adorable. I'm finding out that when I take the hats

off and then harvest as many as I can, well the others just shoot right up.

Let me ask you a question. What other kinds of seeds (similar to sunnies and pea

shoots) can I grow in either coir or sure to grow pads). Can I do lentil sprouts

that way. Let's say I take a round pie plate and add the coir and put the

lentils (after soaking right), like I would do the sunnies. Would the lentils

secure a root and shoot UP!!!??

Thanks, this would be so cool.

And today I made Alan some miso soup and I through in the sprouted lentils and

he exclaimed " This soup is better than your home made chicken soup "

So be assured, no more chickens will be used in any of my soups.

Yes, I dry it on the cob, hanging upside down in a solar dehydrator, then I

vacuum seal the kernals in mason jars, grind it as needed in my Vitamix.

The sprouts grew too much and are too big to taste good.  So rather than

throwing them out, I am going to plant them and have some beans to eat, if

things work out well.  Didn't think about getting seeds as didn't figure I'd

have enough to eat even.   Woudl be surprising if I were inundiated with beans

and thus seeds.

You are going to put your bean sprouts outside? I do mine on the kitchen

counter-just takes a couple of days. Are you planning to grow them to seed

stage?

Plan to grow them, if they will, to eating stage of the beans, so yes, to seed

stage.

I once saw a diagram on how to make a dehydrator using a lightbulb in it to dry

the fruit or whatever.  That was supposed to work.  Might be on line someplace

but haven't seen it in a long time.  Might have been in Girl  Scout or Boy

Scout camp book or something like that.

Purchased at http://www.mymealmasters.com in the webstore. The solar dehydrator

is great for growing microgreens and small crops in too. The newer ones seem to

fall apart pretty easy, and I am trying to find a good source for the old ones

like mine, which has held up year after year of heavy use. I wrote to the

company to see if they could improve the newer one so it doesn't have issues.

Will be following up soon to check on that.

Carolyn :

I just harvested two round green trays of bean sprouts. I just swished and

swished and all the little green hulls floated away. Tomorrow I shall make a

lovely stir fry.
