My Attempt at Indoor Gardening

I planted peppers, cat grass, basil and cilantro indoors this year.  I'm hoping that my little sproutlets will poke their little heads out while they're living inside, which will help them be stronger if we have a super rainy spring & molten-lava summer like we did last year.  The cat grass is already growing, but nothing else has sprouted yet - although the envelopes did say 10-14 days.  So, we'll see.  Here are the pics!

Looks more like mulch than soil

Homemade Teething Biscuits

These aren't too bad, they taste a little bland so if you want to add vanilla, I would suggest doing so!  I added cinnamon but it wasn't enough flavor.

Recipe:

1 cup baby cereal (I used whole wheat)

1 cup flour

1 cup juice or water (I used half apple juice, half water)

Spray your baking sheet before you start!  Then, spray your hands.  It's easier than using a spoon.

Combine ingredients; Mix will be sticky. Roll into balls and flatten into cookie-type shapes.  Bake at 425 for one hour or until the outside is "hard".  

These biscuits are kinda weird in that they are tough on the outside but almost hollow on the inside.  This means that Little Miss or Mister can chomp away and they won't break apart or mush up (until after a really long while) and it prevents Baby from choking.

Ready to Bake

About halfway done

Finished Product

They'll stay fresh for seven days - after that, toss 'em to the birds!

Note the semi-hollow inside

What is this?!

Yeah, OK, it's pretty good.
