My Journey with Fresh-Milled Flour
Over the years, I’ve learned to use wheat berries in all of my baked goods! After learning about this nutritious flour from Sue Becker and the benefits of milling your own grains at home, I’ve embarked on my own journey with fresh-milled flour. I share what I’ve learned over the years, including how to convert any recipe to fresh milled flour. This article is to help you get started and is enriched with my personal journey!
Field to Table
Field to table is about the foods we bring into our home from our land. Our food ration is to inspire the homemaker and give ideas of what needs to be stocked, even if it’s from the grocery store. This means wild game, honey, chickens, grass-fed beef, and cheesemaking are all important homemaker’s tasks that need to be done at our farmhouse. You can cook this way, too, with the practical techniques I share!
