We started this project to become more conscious about healthy urban living, where our food was coming from, how it was grown, and how we could reduce our carbon footprint by not relying on supermarkets, while supporting local farmers markets. In 2011 we learned a lot about indoor gardening from within a loft in downtown Atlanta, GA. Since then we’ve moved to a house and although we have new obstacles ahead we are still Growing Within.

Juicing OJ & Sprouts
JUICING ORANGES
After watching a video on youtube about the flavor packs put into 100% natural OJ I decided to try and make our own as often as possible. Since we both have family in the sunshine state how blessed are we.
Here's a typical amount needed to fill a full carafe. We have blood oranges and tangerines. I prefer mine at room temp because you can taste more of the flavor than when it's been in the fridge for some time. I love the colors in this photo I took in the kitchen. Window lighting is my best friend and I suggest all new photographers experiment using it to meet their goals.
SPROUTS
Easiest way to have healthy greens all year long.
I'm a big fan and have been sprouting non-stop for the past two months with all kinds a seeds.
I use the jarring method and usually have 1 - 3 sitting on the counter top at a time.
We put them on salads and sandwiches. Healthy... yummy... Grow your Food!!!
Two tablespoons of a mixed salad blend and they are bulging out ready for eating at any stage you prefer. On this day I made salads for lunch so here they are hulls and all, and I just pinched a bit off the top, and used the salad spinner. Fast no hassle, you could actually eat the hulls with no problem.
adding and .....
Voilà, Bon Appetít!
Oh... here's some lentils too.
different day... different meal still fantastic.

We have a T-Shirt Shop!
click to enter store
Well... we now have something like a shop online. In the spirit of growing this spring I thought it would be nice to design some shirts for my people who share our passion for food. Fun times!!!
Without knowing how to get started I found my way through one site spreadshirt.com
and here we are. Since they cover all costs and shipping they make quite a nice penny leaving me with a small percentage that I can assign as I like. Who knows, it's just fun to do even if I never sell one of my LIVE, LOVE, GROW t's.
