Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal

January 13, 2017 by Judy Lyness 4 Comments

Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal

I've spent a good deal of time in the past six months in New Jersey at my mother’s house. Each time I return, I marvel that eight people: two adults, three boys and three girls, shared this small space. A space that now seems crowded with just my mom and her caretaker living in it. So much of my mother’s house, the house I grew up in, has remained the same. The plate rack … [Read more...]

Way back in the day I had a bakery in Stowe, Vermont called Baker's Dozen. I was a very good baker and lousy business woman. I opened the bakery in 1979.

My second project didn’t turn out as well as the torte. Here I was in possession of two incredible gifts: the Mockmill grinder and sour dough starter from Karen of Karen’s Kitchen … [Read more...]

Mockmill Grain Mill

mockmill grain mill

Disclosure: I received the Mockmill for free so that I could use it and let you know my thoughts. As always my thoughts are not for sale for any price. I've wanted to make the move to fresh milled wheat for a very long time. My head spins when I think of how processed our flour is. The only thing I was lacking was a wheat mill. My prayers were answered when I received the … [Read more...]
