*this post may contain affiliate links* I have tried over and over to make a combination of either fresh milled or fresh milled sourdough biscuits. And it’s always been a mess. Either between following a recipe in a book or trying to modify my southern friends perfected recipe, I have failed. Over and over again. …

Fresh Milled Sourdough Pie Crust
*this post may contain affiliate links* About 2 years ago I set out to can some triple berry pie filling. It was quite a lot of work to source everything locally. We had to get 30 quarts of strawberries, 25 pints of black raspberries and go pick 15 pounds of blueberries. Of course I didn’t…
Fresh Milled Muffins (with many variations!)
*this post may contain affiliate links*I’ve been doing a little bit of a self challenge these past few weeks- of only eating bread products that are with 100% whole grain (aka fresh milled). The flour is completely unsifted, so you take the whole wheat berry and then you grind it into a flour. I have…
What To Do When Your Bread Dough Doesn’t Turn Out Right?
*this post may contain affiliate links*I’ve been baking sourdough since 2019. Yes, I am a COVID sourdough baker. But guess what? WE’RE STILL HERE BAKING THAT DOUGH! Maybe just not posting as much since now our lives are back to normal. All of that to say, my dough has flopped many a times. It happens…
Honey Spiced Peaches
*this post contains affiliate links* I just got back from canning with a friend. I love that we can do this, it makes canning such much less annoying and more fun. We were cracking jokes, talking, or quietly working together while the kids played, alllllll day. It was so wonderful! But every year I can…
5 Tips to Realistically Practice Slow Living
*this post may contain affiliate links* We’ve all seen the homesteading instagram reels, you know the ones, where they go out to their chickens each morning and grab the eggs for breakfast, stop at their garden for tomatoes, and go milk the cow for the milk to make the cheese. It looks so idyllic. And,…
Do You Really Need A Grain Mill?
Well, that’s debatable. And as someone who is very good at seeing both sides, I’m here to debate it with myself for you. It’s a confusing time to live in. Grains are bad by half of the diets out there. And yet grains are ever so important in other cultures (and even within history!). For…
THE BEST Fresh Milled Wheat Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies
*this post contains affiliate links* Do you have a recipe that you’re just like, known for? I think this might be mine. And it’s a good one! It’s even approved by my friend who claims she doesn’t even like whole wheat, yet gobbles these up, no questions asked. Now that is what I call a…
Ground Beef Sausage Pattys Recipe
*this post contains affiliate links* We love beef over here. It’s such a mild flavor, it’s kosher for our kosher friends, we can get it really cheap locally, everyone likes it, so on and so forth. I’ve never really loved the texture of pork sausage patties (and definitely not links!) so I set out to…
Fresh Milled Wheat Fruit Bars with Pie Filling
*this post contains affiliate links* About 2 years ago I canned a bunch of triple berry pie filling. I’m finally nearing the end of my stash and I’m planning to can some more this season! I’ve got my strawberries and black raspberries in the freezer. Next up is to pick and freeze some blueberries! And…
