Follow along as I start this fresh milled flour jo

Follow along as I start this fresh milled flour journey! My husband was recently told he should try to limit his gluten intake, so we started switching to gluten free foods as much as possible. We found out quickly that not only was the store bought gluten free bread just not good, the ingredient list was quite shocking! Lots of preservatives, seed oils, gums and starches. So, in the search for a better alternative I came across a lot of interesting information about the benefits of fresh milled flour. Flour as we know it now is stripped of all its nutrients, highly processed for long shelf life and most likely contains glyphosate…which is linked to gluten intolerance and inflammation.

So…I bought a flour mill and glyphosate free grains with the hopes that I can still make homemade bread and baked goods that my husband enjoys that will actually be good for us! Yes, whole grain wheat still contains gluten, but fresh milled flour contains 40 of the 44 essential nutrients our bodies need, it’s not processed and many with gluten sensitivity find it much easier to digest!

I’ll be sure share what I’m learning and my favorite recipes along the way! Have any fresh milled flour accounts you love? Tag them below!

#AD I’ve partnered with @moreys.seafood to create a Mediterranean Rice Bowl using Morey’s pre-marinated garlic and herb flounder. If you’re looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, this rice bowl will hit the spot! See below for the full recipe!

Mediterranean Rice Bowl:
Morey’s Wild Alaskan Flounder Garlic & Herb

Rice
Green and/or red peppers
Olives
Feta Cheese

Mediterranean Dressing:
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp honey
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp fine salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

•Cut all the vegetables and assemble the rice bowl by adding a bed of lettuce, the veggies and rice to a bowl.

*Make the Mediterranean dressing by whisking the red wine vinegar, honey, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small to medium bowl. Pour in olive oil while whisking to combine. Pour into a jar with a lid and shake well before serving.

This old reel I shared a couple years ago is getting some views again, so I thought it might be a good time to share some of my favorite fern growing tips. It’s almost time to start bringing them home! See my favorite tips below🪴

•Ferns are considered a tropical plant and don’t love cold weather. Ideally you will want to wait until the nights are consistently in the 50’s before setting them out. They don’t tolerate temps in the 40’s or frost well at all!

•Ferns need a lot of water throughout the growing season and most of the time they are root bound in their growing pot when you buy them from the nursery or box store. The best thing you can do for your fern is to repot in at least a 12 inch self watering hanging basket. This will give them more room to grow and the self watering planter will help keep water from just running out of the bottom…keeping moisture in the pot! It also makes it so much easier to water. I use @miraclegro moisture control potting mix and @osmocotegarden slow release fertilizer when repotting! If you don’t have a self watering hanging pot, you can soak the ferns in a bucket of water for at least 30 minutes.

•To make it easier to take my ferns down when needed, we added eye screws where I wanted to hang them and added a piece of chain link to the eye screw. I just picked a length that was easy for me to reach. I hang the ferns on the chain link and it makes it much easier to take them up and down. But, with the self watering basket you don’t need to take them down near as much! You can water from the bottom reservoir.

•For green, lush, beautiful ferns all season long…feed them one tablespoon of Epsom salt per one gallon of water every 2 weeks! Your ferns will love you for it!!!

•If you’re growing Boston ferns…be sure to hang your ferns in part shade/shade for best results! Boston Ferns do not do well in full sun, but do appreciate a little sun. My ferns hang on my south facing covered porch and thrive. For a full sun option, choose Kimberly Ferns!

Let me know if you have any tips to add or questions!

These 2 ingredient dough bagels are packed full of protein thanks to @lifewaykefir farmer cheese!

1 egg (for egg wash)

•Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

•Sprinkle a little self rising flour on counter and knead dough for 1-2 minutes and flatten it out just a bit. Cut dough into four equal pieces with a bench scraper or sharp knife.
•Form each piece into a flat circle and poke a hole in the center to form the bagel shape or roll each piece out into a rope. Connect each end to make the bagel shape.
•Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water for the egg wash.
•Brush each bagel with egg wash.
•Add your favorite bagel toppings/seasoning and bake on 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
•Remove from oven and cool. Cut each bagel in half and add your favorite cream cheese or farmer cheese spread.

Have you ever tried making homemade caramel sauce?

Have you ever tried making homemade caramel sauce? If not, here’s your sign to give it a try! Once you make this, you will only want the homemade version! It is so simple to make and only takes a few ingredients!

Comment RECIPE and I’ll send the full recipe and instructions to your inbox or see below!

Homemade Caramel Sauce

1 cup white granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

•In a sauce pan add 1 cup sugar and shake the pan to level the sugar.
•Add 1/3 cup water and DO NOT STIR. You won’t stir until you add the heavy cream (stirring too early can cause sauce to crystallize).
•Bring sugar and water to a boil over medium heat. Boil until clear…again…DO NOT STIR!
•Continue boiling on medium high heat until the mixture is caramel in color. This can take about 10 min. Be sure not to let the mixture start to scorch.
•Once caramel in color, turn off heat and immediately add 3/4 cup cream.
•Add butter and stir mixture until smooth. The mixture will likely have clumps in the bottom of the pan…just continue to stir until dissolved.
•Pour caramel sauce into a ball jar with a lid and store in the fridge. Caramel will thicken in fridge.
•To reheat, microwave for a few seconds and stir! This is a perfect caramel sauce for ice cream, cheesecake and drinks! Enjoy!!
