Wheat Grinder

My Mom got us a wheat grinder for our Kitchenaid mixer. It was one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year. Ian and John tried it out yesterday -


John made Cowboy Cookies, and they were yummy. No white flour or sugar were used in the recipe, so they aren't the prettiest cookies, but they are yummy.


Tonight I'm planning on making this -
Banana-Apple Bread
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup applesauce
1/3 brown sugar (I'll use organic)
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed bananas

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9X5-inch loaf pan w/ cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the butter, applesauce, and brown sugar. Add the eggs and mashed bananas and stir until well blended. Add the banana and eggs to the flour mixture and stir until the flour is absorbed.
Bake in a loaf pan for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Take bread out of the oven and let sit for about 15 minutes. Invert the loaf pan onto a wire rack, remove the plan and let the bread cool.

I can't wait to try it.

Big Country

">

NPR had a special on bluegrass music many years ago. We were driving home from my Grandma and Grandpa Miller's, listening to the radio, and this song came on. I was in the front seat, my Dad was driving, and I heard this song, Big Country, for the first time and I remember saying to my Dad that it was one of the best I've ever heard. I still feel that way. I wanted to share it with you.
