My husbands work transferred us across the country. Where we lived before we could easily find whole grain berries and grain mills to buy. It was not easy where we are now living but we did find a store called Bread Beckers out here in Georgia. The WonderMill is their favorite mill to use. They have been using it for many years. The owners Brad and Sue Becker told me that less than 1% of the WonderMills ever have a problem. The motor in them is wonderful and you could grind all day and it wouldn’t be overloaded. I was leaning towards a stone mill but found out that in the east there are tons of bugs and the oil in the grains as the wheat is ground sticks to stones and attracts bugs getting up into the mills. Brad used to clean out the mill bugs out if his mothers stone mill all the time. You would have to us3 your mill pretty much daily to keep that from being a problem. The WonderMill has metal parts in the so the oils won’t stick to the metal discs and the bugs won’t be getting into this type of mill. Had mine for over a year now and not one problem with bugs being attracted to it
Wow, I had never thought about bugs. I know I'm very happy with mill so far. We haven't ground as much grain during the summer months, but as the cooler weather comes I'll be doing a lot more baking....I can't wait!!!
Haha....no, we're not on our best behavior. After 43 years of marriage, we've really learned how to treat each other in a way that is best for them. We DEFINITELY have moments where it's not a 'gentle energy', but for the most part, we really love (and like) each other. Thanks for the kind words. You made us both smile.
I made the chocolate cookies today with fresh miles einkorn, succanat and Belgium dark chocolate and oh my! Deeeelicious!! I'll report back when I make the molasses cookies! Thank you!!
I don't do a lot of baking in the summertime... just my weekly or semi-weekly sourdough bread. But I will definitely be trying your cookies in the future! I do grind my whole wheat flour, but I still need to try einkorn. These cookies are a good incentive for me to get going on that! Love it...Marie
It must’ve a Pennsylvania thing when we lived in Arizona no one ever did it, but my granddad and my sisters and I love frozen chocolate chip cookies, I still freeze a few when baking
Lot of cookie recipes that call for oil can be replace with applesauce for a healthy version I've almost finished binge watching you're channel I've really enjoyed you're channel
Just found your channel and REALLY enjoying it. You mentioned bread from fresh ground grains. RoseRedHomestead bakes bread on her channel using both King Arther flour but also grinds her own flour for bread baking. If you haven’t seen her yet I think you would really enjoy her.
I'm glad you found us. I've watched some of her videos, but haven't seen the flour ones. I'll check them out. I love when she does experiments/comparisons.
I have only been milling for a month and have the Wondermill as well! I love it! I always use Einkorn for my brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but it wasn't fresh milled. I am converting them with fresh milled wheat berries too. What recipe do you have for the pasta? I just ordered Einkorn berries and would like to make pasta. I did it what all purpose Einkorn, but not fresh milled. I would love to try your recipe. Thank you for a great video! I have Carla's Einkorn book😊
I haven't made the pasta yet using Einkhorn. I've been buying Jovial Einkorn Pasta through Azure Standard. I'm hoping to get into pasta making soon, but just haven't had the time to really try it yet.
Do you ever sift your flour to get All purpose flour or just use it how it comes out of the grinder? I grind my own as well but most recipes call for AP flour. Thank you!
I've always just used it as it comes out of the grinder. The grinder has three settings. When it's done on the 'fine' setting I don't know that I could even sift it. I'll have to experiment, I guess. 🙂
It's great that your using a low glycemic flour, just let your viewers know that adding sugar defeats the purpose of using a healthy, more expensive brand.
Your hubby is a very good motivator, he’s funny
He's an amazing man and I'm lucky to have him as a husband.

Are you guys just on your best behavior or are you really this sweet with each other in real life? What a gentle energy 🥰
Haha....no, we're not on our best behavior. After 43 years of marriage, we've really learned how to treat each other in a way that is best for them. We DEFINITELY have moments where it's not a 'gentle energy', but for the most part, we really love (and like) each other. Thanks for the kind words. You made us both smile.
Thanks for the recipes and genuine humor . You folks radiate ❤ for each other and your baking. Thanks from 🇨🇦
Thank yo so much for the kind words...you're so sweet. Thanks for watching!
I made the chocolate cookies today with fresh miles einkorn, succanat and Belgium dark chocolate and oh my! Deeeelicious!! I'll report back when I make the molasses cookies! Thank you!!
Oh, with Belgium dark chocolate....you're making my mouth water. Enjoy your scrumptios cookies!!
The molasses cookies taste just like gingersnaps but soft and moist👍
They remind me of Archway molasses cookies.... Pappy used to love those cookies.
Thank you, I have never heard of this "ancient grain" before!
There are several 'ancient grains' and I'd like to eventually try them all.
The cookies look delicious.
Lol my fridge is hidden by all the art work and pictures. ❤😊
That's the most valuable kind of art work. 🥰... And the cookies ARE delicious.
Thank you for the recipes. I'm so happy to have found your channel!🍪
I'm glad you found us. 😁 I hope you enjoy the cookies. I'm somewhat addicted to the molasses right now.
Yes I love the anci😢products, they are more nutritional than all the chemicals they add nowadays ent
It is amazing how much bad stuff is in our food these days.
Great video little lady
Thank you 🤗
I don't do a lot of baking in the summertime... just my weekly or semi-weekly sourdough bread. But I will definitely be trying your cookies in the future! I do grind my whole wheat flour, but I still need to try einkorn. These cookies are a good incentive for me to get going on that! Love it...Marie
I definitely do more baking I'm the winter. (Unless they grandkids want to make cookies. 😁) I really like Einkhorn.... Have fun experimenting.
The spice cookies look so good I can't wait to try and make these.
They are really yummy. Enjoy!
you both are so sweet!!🥰 thank you for the recipes, can't wait to make them!!😇
Thanks so much for the kind words. You'll definitely enjoy them. YUM!
I love frozen cookies
I think they are so much better.... Plus cool and refreshing in the summer.
It must’ve a Pennsylvania thing when we lived in Arizona no one ever did it, but my granddad and my sisters and I love frozen chocolate chip cookies, I still freeze a few when baking
It might be a Pennsylvania thing. (That means Pennsylvanians have great taste in food...haha)
Love the video!
Thanks!!!
Lot of cookie recipes that call for oil can be replace with applesauce for a healthy version I've almost finished binge watching you're channel I've really enjoyed you're channel
I've heard of the applesauce switch, but I've never tried it. So, did you have a favorite video?
My mom used to freeze our chocolate chip cookies as well. So good! I still prefer to eat my chocolate frozen 😂
They are REALLY good with a cup of hot coffee.
That is the mill that I have and love it too! Where did you get your big stoneware bowl? Thanks for the recipes.
I got the big stoneware bowl at an antique mall near where we live. I LOVE that bowl!
Just found your channel and REALLY enjoying it. You mentioned bread from fresh ground grains. RoseRedHomestead bakes bread on her channel using both King Arther flour but also grinds her own flour for bread baking. If you haven’t seen her yet I think you would really enjoy her.

you should try frozen whoopie pies!!
We might have to give that a try!!!
Can you do Sugar cookies with Einkorn?!
Yes, I would recommend looing up a recipe specifically for Einkorn flour. (just to be safe)
Is the wondermill a stone grinder or is it a metal grinder? I read the metal grinders create more heat that can evaporate the oil in the germ.
The Wondermill does use metal, but the amount of heat is extremely minimal. I can't imagine it would be enough heat to evaporate any oil. ??
I wish I could copy the cookies recipes but it’s not allowing me to.
Hmmm.....I'm able to copy and paste it....not sure why it's not working for you. Maybe you could save the screenshot on your phone???
Do you ever sift your flour to get All purpose flour or just use it how it comes out of the grinder?
I grind my own as well but most recipes call for AP flour. Thank you!

Ok. Thank you!!
What are you using to mix together the molasses cookies? It looks kinda of like a whisk but different
Hi. It's a flat whisk. Batter doesn't get as clumped up at it does with a traditional round whisk. I use it more often than any other whisk
thank you
It's great that your using a low glycemic flour, just let your viewers know that adding sugar defeats the purpose of using a healthy, more expensive brand.
Thanks...something to think about.
Just made einkorn snickerdoodles. They came out crap.
I haven't tried Snickerdoodles yet. Did you use a recipe that called for Einkorn? It does seem to be somewhat different than regular white flour.
