We have become a little more health conscious lately. After reading some of the excerpts in a book called “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon, we knew some things needed to change. We have changed quite a few of our eating habits, and feel better and have lost weight, even. Some friends of ours told us about a Co-op that they buy stuff from and we checked it out. It is called Quail Cove Farms. Now, every month, we order good stuff from them. Today I got my hard wheat berries. This is what they look like:
Then, I put it into our wheat mill. It will grind it into flour.
This is what our mill looks like.
And here is the flour, ready to be baked into some bread.
The bread is really good. I will take a picture of the finished product when I’m done. It really doesn’t take very long to do–some of my friends say they could never do that, but it takes 2 minutes to mill the flour and about 5 minutes to assemble it in the bread machine. Then I press the buttons on the bread machine, and in 2 1/2 hours, we have a freshly baked loaf. I don’t even buy bread at the store anymore, except for special kinds. You can use this flour for pancakes and muffins and a whole bunch more. It is delicious.
