The sprout growing project is coming along well. My alfala sprouts are growing out of the jar (day #4! those things don't mess around!) and look ready to eat. Yummy! Now that I know how to do it, I'll foray into broccoli sprouts which I've already purchased and, after that, watch out seeds -- I'm a sprouting fool! A little FYI: Plants in the sprout stage have 300 (!) times more nutritional value than at any other time in their life cycle. Talk about a powerhouse food. I like to eat my sprouts "straight up" or in salads. I remember begging my mom to buy me alfalfa sprouts in the grocery store when I was a kid. A weird kid, obviously.
In spelt bread news... I finally made a loaf today with a bread machine recipe I found. The bread machine actually just went off, so the spelt bread verdict is TBA. I can tell you it smells darn good, but I think it got a little overbaked... totally my fault since I halved the recipe because I didn't have enough spelt flour to make the bigger loaf. We'll see. Maybe I could have a tomato, sprout, spelt bread sandwich. Mmmm -- sounds like a plan to me!
I took a little trip to Raisin Rack this morning. Raisin Rack is an amazing health food store that I have about a mile from my house. I was on a mission for brown rice protein powder, but - of course - came out with much more than that.
In other news, a core class on Saturday pretty much whipped me. I was begging for mercy by the end of that session and I am still mega sore today! Love it!
