If you have enough light and space, you can grow just about anything indoors. Greens such as mesclun mixes, spinach, arugula, kale, various Asian greens, etc. do especially well. You could also grow basil, parsley (slow), oregano, and rosemary. Unless you have a good natural source of light (overhead, two sides) you could use a cheap shop light and two sunlight-mimicking, full-spectrum fluorescent bulbs. Leave the lights on all day.
Here's a slideshow of an experiment we did growing salad greens before we built a tiny greenhouse in the space where an old porch collapsed. http://bit.ly/AtHACR The photo below shows one of the recycled polystyrene plantings containers we harvested from. With larger, deeper containers, we would have harvested mor abundant crops.
