We're going to eat some bird seed today!

No really. Millet is a common ingredient in commercial bird seed (although, not all millet is created equal).

For humans, especially those of us who are gluten-free, millet is a great choice. It's also high in B vitamins and magnesium.

My suggestion when trying new ingredients is to incorporate them into existing recipes that you know you love. One of my go-to recipes to tinker with is a traditional caprese salad -- perfect for cherry tomato season!

I didn't include proportions for this recipe, so I encourage you to make it your own. A few more cherry tomatoes here, a generous splash of caper juice there -- taste as you go and adjust the proportions accordingly!
