No Green Thumb

After a valiant attempt, I have given up trying to grow my own food in my apartment–it just doesn’t work that well.  I had the beginning of seedlings (I thought), but nothing much has happened since then.  This means that local food is slim pickings and I think I might have to look beyond my apartment walls and Canada’s borders for food.  My intentions to eat local, whole foods is so limiting in February and March. As much as I love root vegetables (and I do), I need some variety.  If I’m serious about clean eating as a way of life, then I need to be excited about the food I’m eating.  The experts now say that WHAT we eat is more important than WHERE it comes from–so I’m thinking I’ll focus more on whole foods and less on local foods.  Bring on the Californian raspberries!

    Hey there! For next year, try canning, dehydrating, jam making, and freezing some of your favorite local foods for those harsh winter months. Good luck.

Grain of the Week: MILLET is a tiny, round grain that can be white, gray, yellow or red. Like barley, it can be pearled and hulled, but it can also be cracked and this is often how it is found in cereals. Millet is a great source of phosphorous and magnesium. Phosphorus plays a roll in virtually every cell in the body. Phosphorus also helps the body to metabolise fats. A cup of cooked millet provides approximately 24.0% of the daily phosphorus needs. Plain, cooked (boiled) millet can be a bit bland--be sure to season your millet well.
