Novel Eats

This is the first in a series of posts that I’ll be doing that focuses on how to be a bit more frugal in the kitchen. We’ve all probably felt the pinch in one way or another in this lovely recession, but we don’t have to forgo good food to save money. We can have our cake and eat it, too. In this post, we can have our sprouts. :) Stay tuned in the coming days and weeks for other ways you can save money on good homemade food in the kitchen.

When I was a kid I remember my mom growing a copious amount of alfalfa sprouts. She’d pack them in my lunches for school, and at lunchtime my classmates would make fun of me for eating worms. I liked the sprouts, though, and so much so that I grew sprouts for a school science fair (I believe I even won something). I showed them at different stages of growth, from humble seed to full grown sprout.
