Spelt is the original wheat used for hundreds of years until the early 1900s when some farmers/engineers got the idea to make a new wheat that would produce more grain per stalk. Saving money was vital, hence the Great Depression. The only problem is, they didn't realize how … [Read more...]

Summer means Cabin Fun!
We were able to take a quick trip to the cabin last weekend. I made some more "poptarts" from the recipe posted on the blog HERE, but they were so rich so this time I used this recipe HERE for the crust. It's much healthier.
