  • Cardamom Sesame Crackers

    Cardamom Sesame Crackers

    I had reason to buy some cardamom during the holidays. Because of that, I have this spice sitting in the pantry that I’ve used only one time. This morning I set out to find another use for it. I was also itching for some crackers. After all, going back to eating right after the holidays is not reason to make yourself feel deprived.

    Enter the Grain Mill Wagon. I love stumbling across new food or health sites. I do believe I’ll be spending some time there to see what other yummy treats can be found.

    The ingredients were few and it only took about ten minutes to get the dough mixed up.

    Simple Ingredients Making Cracker Dough Kitchen Help

    With the oven preheated to 350° it only took about 15 minutes for them to cook. They came out great!

    She mixed up some cheese dip for them with a base of shredded cheese and mayonnaise. A little jalapeño, minced garlic, and green onion made the perfect toppers for these crackers. I had no sesame seeds so I substituted 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for some of the olive oil.

  • Whole Wheat Bagels

    Whole Wheat Bagels

    I was ready to try something new with whole wheat today. After church I set up the KitchenAid to grind some wheat into flour. The little man got into the action to help with this part.

    They were amazingly simple to make and required very little time where I was actually having to do something. I had to let them rise for an hour, boil them for one minute, and finally bake them for about twenty minutes. Getting the dough mixed probably took about thirty minutes including grinding the grain.

    The ultimate test came when I dropped one into the toaster and covered it with butter after it came out. Once that was done it was very plain to me that I was having breakfast for dinner. A couple of pieces of bacon, a scrambled egg, chipotle mayo, and a little smoked cheddar finished off my day. This thing was more hardy and filling than any bagel I’ve ever had.

    I have no doubt one of these things could power me through an entire day. Hmmmm, wonder what breakfast will be tomorrow.

  • Whole Wheat on Spiphy Warfare

    Whole Wheat on Spiphy Warfare

    There are numerous calls for Whole Wheat in recipes on spiphywarfare.com. After some internal discussion I felt it necessary to distinguish between wheat you buy at the store labelled whole wheat and actual whole wheat. Whole wheat on spiphywarfare is referring to freshly ground flour made from organic wheat berries in my home. I discovered, at least for me, that using wheat flour I made from organic wheat did not cause me to gain weight.

    I do not suggest replacing Whole Wheat on spiphywarfare with the whole wheat from a store. Store bought whole wheat is not actually whole wheat, and you risk introducing harmful chemicals into your body.

  • Wheat/Flax Minute Bread

    I chose to call this recipe minute bread and not minute muffin because of the way I use it. Cooked in a bowl and sliced in half it works great as a bun to hold a hamburger or bacon and eggs.

    If you want a really low-carb version, leave out the wheat and use 1/4 cup of flax. You end up under 4 net carbs that way.  This recipe is fun to play with adding different seasonings/flavors.

  • To Wheat or Not to Wheat: The End

    To Wheat or Not to Wheat: The End

    Thirty-six days ago I started an experiment with a sample group of one. Me. On November 26, 2013 I introduced wheat back into my diet to reconcile some basic beliefs with health information.

    Bottom line? My weight this morning was the same as it was the day I started. That coupled with the fact that I sat down and enjoyed homemade biscuits with my kids this morning makes me give freshly ground, organic whole-wheat my personal stamp of approval. If you want to see some of the things I enjoyed, just look for entries with the wheat tag.SW_stamp_of_approval

    Now, what this doesn’t mean is that I’ll be bringing wheat back into my diet on a daily basis. It doesn’t mean donuts and cake are going to be a constant in my house. It simply means that for me, personally, I can enjoy some of those things I’ve missed.  I’ll just be getting them without the chemicals used in turning the hapless wheat berry into the frankenfood you find on the store shelf labeled flour.

    To me it’s just another proof that food, as God intended it, is good for you. Lose the chemicals, the processing, and the profit motive going into your food and a lot more nutrients come out.

  • Whole Wheat Blueberry Donut Muffins

    Whole Wheat Blueberry Donut Muffins

    These muffins prepared from freshly ground wheat pack enough punch to carry you through the morning without filling yourself with completely useless calories. The coconut sugar provides nutrients (read more) as do the completely unrefined carbohydrates from the wheat berries.

    The Vitamix blender makes this as simple as dumping the ingredients into the container and turning it on for 90 seconds.

    Delicious, kid-approved muffins without all the garbage. As always, all ingredients should be certified organic.

    Ingredients
    1. 4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    2. 1 teaspoon salt
    3. 1 tablespoon honey
    4. 2 teaspoons instant yeast
    5. 1 teaspoon baking soda
    6. 1 3/4 cups whole milk
    7. 3 tablespoons salted butter
    8. 1 large egg
    Instructions
    1. Combine the dry ingredients in mixing bowl and whisk/stir them together.
    2. Beat egg.
    3. Heat milk and butter on low heat in a saucepan just until butter melts.
    4. Remove from heat and stir in honey.
    5. Add liquid and egg to dry ingredients.
    6. Run mixer with dough-hook until dough forms a ball. You can alternatively do this by hand.
    7. Roll out on floured surface to about 1 inch thick and cut out the muffins using a large cookie cutter.
    8. Place muffins on baking sheet and cover for twenty minutes.
    9. Heat cast iron, or other non-stick, skillet to medium low heat.
    10. Cook muffins about five minutes each side until browned. (preheat oven to 325 about now)
    11. Place in oven for 20 minutes.
    Notes
    1. I assume it is from the fresh whole wheat but fifteen minutes left the inside a little too moist.
