Sprouting tips and a giveaway

I haven't tried sprouting in a while. Today I found a post which makes it look very nice and promising. And to be honest, quite easy, too! We used to do that at school, did you?

Sprouts Using the Marche Method of Sprouting from Seeds of Sustainability. Every sprout looked amazing. This method is so easy. For just a tiny bit of work (germinating and bagging) I get all of these delicious sprouts after 2 days. No rinsing at all! They are nice and sweet. Sprouts are so incredibly good for you. They should be a part of everyone’s daily diet. These lentil sprouts are so sweet and surprisingly have been in my refrigerator for almost a month and still taste great! I also made a crunchy snack out of them. I drizzled a little bit of olive oil over the sprouts, season with sea salt. Put in dehydrator on 105 degrees. Dehydrate until crunchy. These are delicious as a snack or on a salad.

The information above comes from a wonderful new website I have just discovered, called "Vegan Family Healthy Eating". It is Christian, and it is Vegan, and it also deals with children which is a major consideration for me, in trying to keep everyone fed AND happy. Check it out here.

There is also a giveaway (US only) running on the blog till March 31st that you may enter to win a copy of Food, Inc., the film adaptation of Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It.
The giveaway link is right here.

Happy sprouting!

Enjoy the Weekend

Wishing you all a very pleasurable and Spring-fresh weekend. Don't forget to join my giveaway for a free blog makeover by Tara, my own makeover wizzard.

Monday 6th is the unveiling date, and we're going to random pick the winner. Who will she be?
I love all those flowers in the photo found here, so I am sending a bouquet to each one of you.

Spring day...and a fabulous giveaway

Hello dear friends, hello big sunny world.

I have spent one week away from the computer. Telecom was upgrading the soggy lines, so we had no connection whatsoever.

How it was, you ask? First, no contact with the company. No reports to send. No e-mails to receive. No placing orders. Not knowing which orders the truck will unload (just arrived: the new summer bedlinen).

Not visiting my blogging friends :-( , and no blogging.

How we got our line back? Well. After calling and asking and begging, it dawned on us that there is another way of doing things. By that I mean the South-Eastern way of doing things. The one where you know someone who knows someone? ringing a bell? No? Then you are definitively blue blooded Anglo-Saxon!

Because knowing someone is the only way of doing things in Southeastrern Europe and the big wide East of the Northern hemisphere. Thank God for that system! If it didn't exist, I would still be off computer and possibly out of business, too!

Do you know, I am nearing my 1000 post? and my 3rd blog-o-versary?

I am going to celebrate with a giveaway and a new look that is being baked by a talented and very special lady, whose name is Tara. Do visit her over here and see her lovely AND very reasonably priced work.

And on April 6th, tadam! Out of the hat will come the name of a lucky receiver of a Spring makeover, curtesy of The Green Greek! How do you like that?

The rules? Simple, really. Leave me a comment, letting me know what you would like to read and see posted from me in the coming year. I'll make a list and promise to fulfill your wishes. Spread the word, follow me, join in the game!

Sending warmest reagrds to all of you.
xoxo
