Here is the sprouting setup. Pretty low tech! The jars rest on a rolling pin and drain into the sink. I cover them up with a dark dish towel. It works great.

I am trying amaranth for the first time this week. We shall see! In the photo there are amaranth, garbanzos and mung beans. My problem child is quinoa. I have ...

I do work with some of the kindest folks and I didn't really expect criticism. (Early childhood teachers are generally loving beings. ) Everyone is very happy that I have found something ...

I have completed 3 months of RAW!! This is so exciting! The subtle changes continue and my weight continues to go down slowly, but fairly steadily.
