What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?

OTHER ORGANIZATION PROJECTS
If you are interested in taking a deeper look into some of the spaces in my home, check out the following posts!
I would love to use more whole wheat in my cooking. Where do you buy it at?
I will have to try this. My SIL swears that the King Arthur white wheat is just like regular flour but I don't get the same results.
I have not seen this! I will have to try it! Thanks for posting about it. I too grew up on all white bread and flour and now that I'm a mom I'm trying to get my kiddos to like wheat things from the start.
I bake almost everything with this product. The only thing I would say "never again" to is chocolate cake or brownies.
We eat only whole wheat around here so we're used to the taste of ww cookies and muffins, but once I bought the pastry flour, and WOW, you're right, huge difference. I would recommend checking out a local healthstore (Good Earth or Sunflower market carry it down here) so you could buy it in the bulk section, it is alot cheaper :) I also recommend http://www.wholegraingourmet.com for yummy sweet bread and cookie recipes :)
I wonder how it compares to grinding your own flour? I use white wheat and love it! It tastes great in cookies and muffins and bread. I haven't been brave enough to try it in cake though. I use unbleached white flour for that!
I haven't tried that, but I do use "Bob's" gluten in my homemade bread. Great results!
I have started using that same brand, "Bobs Red Mill" to get some more wheat in around our house!!but I didn't know they had pastry whole wheat! Thanks a ton!
I'll have to give that one a try! We usually buy wheat, but the one time I tried replacing 1 out of 3 cups of flour with wheat flower in a loaf of bread I was baking, it ended up tasting fermented & totally inedible. I haven't tried again since that!
Amy,
I have not seen this—but I have seen the brand. Thank you for sharing. I am often using whole wheat flour in my cakes and cookies, muffins and pancakes. Usually, it turns out fine, but it would be nice to have them be lighter and fluffy. I grew up with a mother who was really healthy and in turn I have become that way. I do love a good white roll though! But, I am going to have to try this. Where did you buy it? I am always excited for new healthy recipe ideas.
Also, have you ever tried baking a cake with bean puree? It is wonderful! And it doesn't even taste any different! Just simply replace the oil with bean puree (black bean for chocolate cake)…check out http://www.everydayfoodstorage.com
I started using white whole wheat kernels. I didn't even know there was such a thing, but the RED whole wheat kernels have a much stronger "whole wheat" taste. BUt the WHITE ones have the same nutritional value (I think) and taste a lot more like white flour when baking with them.
So anyways…I'm a fan of White whole wheat bread.
i'm going to keep my eye out for that! I am really trying to get me bad food habits under control.
Whole wheat is the way to go. But it's important to eat it freshly ground–the good stuff can go bad within days. I grind new flour every few days to make sure it's fresh. It's incredibly easy, just pour it in as wheat, and scoop it out as flour. (If I can grind wheat at 7 am with three kids at my ankles, anyone can! It's so worth it for banana nut pancakes! Seriously!)
My wheat grinder cost around $200. I couldn't live without it, we go through six 25 lb bags of wheat a year! I use it for bread, rolls, and pancakes mostly. But I say: when you have dessert, HAVE DESSERT! I only use white flour for that stuff!
I like homemade wheat bread, but I NEVER make bread. I really need to be more domestic.
I LOVE that stuff! I use it frequently and feel the same way–I can't even tell there's wheat flour in my baked goods. Healthy without the heaviness.
Have you ever tried using other types of whole grain flours? Spelt, for instance, is a lot lighter than whole wheat so it works better in cookies. My mom is so good at experimenting with all sorts of grains. You can check out her blog at graincrazy.blogspot.com if you'd like. I haven't started using much myself yet, but I'm wanting to start.
I love Bob's Red Mill. Some of the best wheat product.
