Ash Wedesday is a good day to spend cooking something healthy, after all the Valentine's food coloring and sugar. From left to right: whole grain and flax butternut squash muffins; homemade seitan; baked sweet potato falafel. R loves this pepperoni-flavored seitan. It's a great high-protein vegetarian option to have up your sleeve. And much fresher and cheaper than the grocery store versions. I put mini chocolate chips in the muffins to entice her, because they aren't the prettiest color. But they are low fat, full of beta carotene and vitamin A and C and fiber.
And here is the beginning of the salad garden. Cress is so much fun. R and I seeded it on Sunday, and here's what it looks like four days later. I have a few more flats under lights: Bloomsdale spinach; tatsoi; Salad Bowl lettuce; arugula; mizuna; chives, summer savory & thyme.
