Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 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!!! lol Melody > > Mel, since you like to experiment, here is one for you. Flax makes a WONDERFUL egg substitute in baking. Why not try grinding some of your own flour in the Vitamix-brown rice, red quinoa, buckwheat, etc. to make flour, then use flax gel (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 your muffin batter, made from your own flour! Fun, easy, DELISH! NICE way to get 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 of your sunnies and pea shoots-yummy! > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 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. > > > > Mel, since you like to experiment, here is one for you. Flax makes a WONDERFUL egg substitute in baking.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 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. lol, Melody > > > > > > Mel, since you like to experiment, here is one for you.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 My daughter started calling the shells hats years ago, and it stuck, lol. We all enjoy picking them off. I grab a few off every time I pass the tray, or just sit down and relax while I pluck away contentedly. Yes, you can do lentils, buckwheat, etc. in the coir, but in my experience they tend to mold quickly, especially buckwheat. I find that red lentils sprout better than french (green) lentils, for some reason. Buckwheat tends to mold pretty quickly, I guess because it is a relatively soft grain. > > > > > > > > Mel, since you like to experiment, here is one for you.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 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. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 ROFL Well, we'll be at the podiatrist all day and then I'll park Alan in a pizzeria and I'll go next door to HOME DEPOT and have a ball for 30 minutes, then I'll go pick up Alan and then go home and then...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I found out something interesting today. I had been sprouting lentils in the round green trays. They sprout BEAUTIFULLY, right up to the top of the tray. At the same time I started the trays, I also put some in a mason jar. They sprouted also but nothing like what was happening in the round green trays. I have no idea why this is. So I just transferred them from mason jar to the tray and they are getting tall. You gotta love the Sproutgarden. lol (I love to say gotta) Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
