When it comes to fueling our bodies, Nature's Goodness cannot be improved on!
I had a pleasant phone chat today with a woman who GETS it about eating well and wisely. Our conversation reminded me that here at the Clubhouse, we have not really looked into growing live food during the cold winter months.
How is that possible? It is not only possible but pragmatic. We all want the best for our children; we all yearn to have more energy. We can do that easily by growing sprout seeds in a jar on a sun drenched window sill!
Radish sprout seeds make such great snacks and piling some onto a sandwich is divine! They will be ready to consume in about three days or so. They just need to be rinsed and placed into a jar with a loosely fitted lid. Cheesecloth held in place with a jar ring is PERFECT for this little project.
I particularly enjoy eating mung bean sprouts, as well as alfalfa sprouts. These beauties make great garnishes to present your family with pretty plates full of food, too. Check with a good health food store to find a good selection to please the palates of your gang.
It is so much fun to eat well and wisely to save high medical bills. It makes much more sense to do that, as opposed to shelling out the big bucks for medical care.
The body is wise enough to heal itself, you know. But it needs certain elements to be as well as can be. The components of fresh, raw goodies like fresh vegetables and fruits, sprouts, seeds and such amp up the body’s ability to defend itself. When the body is not busy defending itself, it can generate more energy for all the things you need to do to keep body and soul together.
If you use WIC or SNAP; if you have food commodities or food pantry food, this is an ideal way to supplement those foods with antioxidants, phytonutrients and nourishment that is not available from cans or boxes. As a matter of fact, this is a great plan for users of Angel Foods and Farmers Markets and people on fixed incomes and penny pinchers to eat!
We sincerely hope our ideas help you stretch those food dollars and keep your family healthy as possible. You are welcome to send us your feedback by leaving your thoughts in a comment or mailing us: foodstampscookingclub@gmail.com . THANKS!

Hi. Good and delicious idea. Also, there are several veggies that grow underground during the cold months. I don’t have info at hand because I have just moved, but my apartment complex is going to let me have a garden here. I’m thrilled. I’ve heard about the winter veggies on PBS’ Saturday morning gardening program. Here in TN, though we are in the deep freeze with “icing” (not the sugary type) on bottom, it will very soon be time to start planting.

Oh, Marilyn, I hope you are warm and safe. This winter weather has been something ELSE all over!
I know what a fresh foodie you are-when you are not enjoying a bowl of chili, that is! grin Doncha wish you had a nickel for each sandwich or salad you finished off with a sprinkling of sprouts?
Me, too, Marilyn. Me, too!
