Milling Grains. . .

Here is my set up right now. I’m just kicking myself for having this for at least a year and JUST NOW getting hooked on it! I LOVE it! And my family does too – I have milled grains and used the flour for cookies, rolls, muffins, bread. . . everything has been just delicious! Let me also say that we can tell a huge difference in our “regularity” with just this simple change. Your body can process this and get all of the nutrients out of it too. It’s pretty exciting! Hard White and Hard Red are the grains that I have right now. They aren’t white or red though when milled. Both a light brown color. The Hard Red has more of a nutty flavor though. You can also add different flavors to things you make with the honey you use: orange blossom, tupelo, etc.
This is a muffin recipe that I got from my Mama T. It’s super wonderful and great with fresh milled flour. You can add whatever you want to it – cinnamon, vanilla, nuts, fruits. . . etc. I suppose whatever you are craving at the time. I try to keep this around too because it’s so good to get the day started!
I’ve also had trouble keeping this yummy homemade granola around! Colt loves to eat it plain or with yogurt and bananas. I personally like it with milk and fruit. It’s super good!

Granola Recipe:
5 cups oats
2 cups coconut
1 cup almonds
1 cup walnut
1 cup pecans
1 cup flax (which I usually throw in just about everything by the way)
Heat 1/2 cup oil and 1 cup honey on the stove, and stir into mix above.
Bake at 325 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and stir in some craisins and raisins. Enjoy!
Just some food for thought (literally)!

  1. Such beautiful pictures! I wanted to tell you I also bought “Spelt” this last time…they said it has lots of protein and is good for people with gluten allergies. I just made some “Spelt Salad” last week….it is delicious..kind of like Tabouleh…real nutty tasting. Loved the granola pictures too. Glad you had a good birthday! Love you!
