I have spent a lot of time lately on sourdough related baking, so today Seamus and I decided to go back to basics this morning and make muffins. We could not decide what kind we wanted so we ended up with whole wheat banana, strawberry, lemon, coconut muffins. We used our homemade lemon yogurt and substituted our raw honey for the sugar.
Despite the many flavours in our muffins, we agreed that they were still missing something - rhubarb. Luckily, our rhubarb has finally started to grow! It will not be long until rhubarb muffins are on the menu.
On our walk about the farm today we were delighted to find that many other things are growing too.
 |
| Some of the 300 daffodils we planted last fall have popped up. |
 |
| Our pallet garden veggies loved the sunny day. |
 |
| Our lettuce and chard look crunchy after a late afternoon watering. |
 |
| Our first planting of directly sowed spinach is up. |
 |
| And we have green grass. Finally! |
Speaking of green things growing, our microgreens have gone gangbusters! I have gotten creative in trying to figure out how to use microgreens on almost everything we eat. Today's lunch and dinner included:
 |
| Red clover greens on an open-face tuna salad sandwich on homemade sourdough. |
 |
| Wasabi mustard greens on a baked potato with homemade creme fraiche. |
Between muffins and microgreens, our tummies are satisfied tonight here on Gael Glen Farm. In addition, our minds are appeased by the promise of much more homemade and home grown food in our future.
