As for herbs, you need ones that don't bolt and taste nasty. That way you can harvest from them year-round.
Garlic shoots: they come up all the time, just have enough planted to take care of your needs and have a few more.
Mint: can't go wrong with mint, but it loves light.
Watercress: get an aquarium air pump and air stone for these.
Lamb's Quarter (aka Magenta Spreen from seed catalogs): like spinach, but doesn't taste horrid when it bolts. It grows massive, plant in succession, so that you always have 12 inch or smaller plants to eat. Gets woody as it gets older, but leaves are still great.
Thyme: grows easily enough, likes lots of light.
Purslane: great for hanging pots, but likes lots of light.
Lettuce, collards, spinach, etc: most do well indoors, but having a cheap shop light over them helps a lot. When they get too warm they tend to bolt and taste horrific.
Sprouts: You can have sprouts year-round even in the dark (unless the seeds are light-triggered for germinating). Sprouts go great with many recipes and salads. Just keep everything clean and fresh, make smaller batches instead of like 1-gallon jars of the stuff.
