It was a very hot and very humid workout tonight , even with some rain showers throughout. There is not one dry part of our bodies right now. This is our reward 😃

Microgreens are a super easy-to-grow superfood. Packed with nutrition, tasty and beautiful, use them in salads, tacos, with side dishes and to top off soups, as well as a boost to smoothies.

To grow your own, poke holes in the bottom of a shallow disposable aluminum pan and fill with clean potting soil, then pack it down. Sprinkle seeds over soil and keep moist. Once they begin to sprout keep them in a sunny window or under a plant light. It helps to sit the pan in a tray and water from the bottom after the seeds sprout and until harvested. Do not allow to dry out. When greens are 2 to 3 inches, use a sharp knife and “mow” a handful at a time to harvest. You can have a constant supply by starting the next batch halfway through the current batch.

Some of the most common seeds used for sprouting are:
Kale
Broccoli
Lettuce
Beet
Mustard
Basil
Pea
Chard
Parsley
Cilantro
Radish

There are many others you can try. Grab a pack of seeds and give it a go!

Want a different way to fix Brussels sprouts? Slice sprouts on a mandolin (use the guard!) and sautee in olive oil and a pat of butter with paprika, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic, bacon pieces and black pepper until tender. Cooking them this way brings out the best flavor!

Brussels sprouts are low on calories but high on the nutritive scale. A 1 cup serving will have 4g of fiber, 3g protein, 13% the daily value of vitamin A, 124% for vitamin C, 6% for iron, 10% for vitamin B-6, 5% for magnesium and 3% for calcium.

Shaved Brussels sprouts with toasted almonds and dried cranberries. Toast the almond slices in a hot pan and set aside. Then using a mandolin, slice the Brussels sprouts a little thicker than a quarter inch. Heat butter or gee in saute pan and cook the sprouts until almost tender. Add a bit of water and let steam until they reach the desired firmness. Mix in the almonds and dried cranberries.
