I Love to Cook!!

Welcome to my new blog. I am dedicating this to all of the cooking and eating that I love to do. I will post recipes and ideas for a fun, healthy, yummy life. I feel like I am an expert on cooking yummy food. I have 6 very different children (read into that... they all want something different for dinner) and a wonderful husband. His food preferences run a little to the caveman side. His suggestion for the name of this blog was "How 'bout some bacon"?!?!? Yes, welcome to my life with the carnivorous caveman!

But onto the GOOD food...

Let me share one of my favorite hints...WHEAT. I like to grind my own. This is what a bucket of wheat looks like . As you can see, this one was ordered in 1999! It keeps a long time down in your basement or under your house. We are actually putting a wheat order together, so if you are wanting to order some buckets from Wheat Montana, just let me know. I think we can get it cheaper if we get a BIG order, so let everyone know! They offer lots of things besides wheat. Anyway, here is wheat:


Here is my grinder. It is a Whisper Mill. I have been pleased with it, and have a friend that uses hers way more than me and she loves hers, also. This is easy, just be sure and turn it on before you pour the wheat in.
I am adding some Flax. Your body can't process flax whole (so you can quit trying to eat that Uncle Sam Cereal!) I add about 1 part flax to 10 or 12 parts wheat. Mix it in a little at a time, if you try to just grind flax you will gum up your machine, it has too much oil in it.I just swirl it around with my hands once it is in the hopper.

Stay tuned...next time we will turn this wonderful wheat into some hearty and satisfying fall foods. Your family we be smiling and asking for seconds!!
