3 Tablespoons of seeds filled the sprouting cup. I’ll be eating a lot of sprouts in the next week! Last night was a salad topped with sprouts. This was todays lunch, a pita with lifelite vegetarian deli slices and lots of sprouts :)

How I did it: I'm using a Nesco Snackmaster with 4 extra add on trays...so nothing fancy. I'm quadrupling my growing space next year so I hope to save up for an Exaclibur to help me preserve for winter.You can dehydrate darn near anything. A lot comes from my garden. And wonderfully frugal advantage for grocery shopping is that you can watch for sales and stock up on your favorite fresh produce, canned goods, and frozen foods to prese… Read how I did it…
I used the directions given here to make some flour tortillas. I used half white flour and half hand ground whole wheat. The only problem I had was the tutorial says to use a high heat and I burned a couple that way. What actually worked was 30 seconds on each side at my normal frying temperature (4.5 on my electric range)
They made for some fabulous bean and cheese quesadillas :)
My sprouting cup got lost in the move :( It worked so fabulously that I decided to get another Easy Sprout before starting this goal. Meant to soak them over night, but forgot to empty this morning so they soaked 24 hours instead…hehe.
