and we wait ...

I dusted off my grain mill and bread machine this morning.  Yes, it's been a while since this domestic goddess slacker has made bread.  I know … I know.  Brandon travelled up to Bread Beckers for me recently and replenished my supplies, so now we are set for a while :)

My Whisper Mill (why is it called a Whisper Mill???)

My trusty Bread Beckers Recipe Collection ♥

3 cups of wheat berries waiting to be ground …

The wheat berries are in my newest antique Pyrex bowl ♥

Grace is licking honey off a spoon :)

Freshly ground wheat … I wish you could smell this!

My tried and true Bread Beckers Zo Dough recipe :)

Oil and Honey - the honey is from a local farmer ♥

And now we wait … 

I'm excited about the smell of fresh bread floating through the house again :) ♥

Homegrown Blueberry Muffins

Yum Yum Yum !!! My blueberries are doing SO well this year (thanks, in large part to Moxie, who diligently chases the birds away!). Many of them are ripe now, so the girls wanted to pick them last night. We did and they are fabulous!


Not sour at all … just the right texture and flavor! You know how blueberries in the grocery store tend to be on the sour and not-so-soft side? Well, these are neither! So of course, we made some blueberry muffins with them today.

I use this recipe (minus the crumb topping - I put powdered sugar on top instead). So yummy! I think I'll go and have another :)
