Simple Grains

Things don't have to be perfect to nourish your family!

We whipped up some bagels to grab as easy breakfast or lunch, they might not be pretty but they get the job done 🙂

My daughter was playing "coffee shop" today and asked me for some doughnuts.
So I threw some sourdough discard in with a few ingredients and then we had fresh cinnamon sugar donut holes!
They're crunchy on the outside and soft inside 🤤
These don't have any yeast, and used 7 ingredients, fried in tallow/coconut oil.

If you're looking for an easy way to get protein in, this loaf is your friend!
It only has 5 ingredients and no rise time.

There's about 4 grams of protein in each smaller slice. The whole grain, unsifted fiber will keep you fuller, longer too!

Ways we use this loaf:
PB&J
Toast and eggs
French toast
Egg/tuna salad

(re)Trying my hand at fresh milled sourdough.
I've used a variation of einkorn, emmer and spelt and have been pleased!

Toasted with butter and some fried eggs..👌🏽

Fresh spelt pancakes for breakfast today!
There's about 12 grams of protein in each serving which isn't bad for pancakes 😊

Threw together some pizzas with my kids 🍕They love to roll the dough, splatter, I mean spread the sauce and top it with cheese!

Making the dough even a few days in advance is so nice if you need a quicker meal. This only took 8 minutes in the oven 👩🏽‍🍳

Fresh milled flour used: einkorn

Cream of wheat used to be something I loved in childhood, now we get to enjoy it as a family AND know it's nourishing our bodies!

I used the ancient grain, Emmer for this and it did not disappoint 🙂

Nothing like hot pizza on Valentine's Day, right?!
We tried our hand at fresh milled flour deep dish pizza, it was a crowd pleaser 🙂

We adapted a recipe for fresh milled flour but it still needs a few tweaks, and a chance to cook in an actual oven before sharing a recipe!

Our oven is out of commission and we have missed our fresh milled flour Dutch baby breakfasts!

I found a dish that fits in our toaster oven and cranked one out for the kids 🙌🏽 we whipped some fresh cream up, with berry compote and devoured it 😊

Recipe in comments (it's soooo simple and nutritious!)

Fresh milled flour crepes, anyone?!

We were part of the "clean plate club" this morning, because these were delicious and nutritious 💪🏽

My husband and I used to get fresh crepes at the Westside Market in Cleveland and these were a bit of a nostalgia hit for us today ❤️
