This morning, I'm up bright and early milling flour for some fresh sourdough loaves. This is my Nutrimill Harvest grain mill. I specifically chose this mill because it is a traditional stone mill. The grain is fed through where it is then cut and crushed into flour. There are two stones inside this machine, the bed stone and the runner stone. Unlike high-speed steel blade or roller mills that can heat up and degrade nutrients, slow-speed stone mills keep the grain cool, preserving the natural germ, oils, flavors, and vitamins.
Today I'm milling Khorasan wheat. Khorasan wheat is an ancient, unhybridized grass variety known for its large golden kernels and rich, nutty flavor. It is nutrient rich and contains higher levels of protein, lipids, amino acids, zinc, selenium, and vitamins than modern wheat.

Did you know that store bought flour is stripped from most nutrients?
• Industrial roller mills separate and sift out the outer bran (which contains fiber) and the inner germ (which contains vitamins, minerals, and natural oils).
• Leaving the Endosperm: Only the starchy endosperm remains, which is processed into fine white flour. This prevents the natural oils from going rancid, allowing the flour to sit on store shelves for months or years.
• Nutrient Depletion: This process strips away most dietary fiber, vitamin E, B vitamins, iron, and magnesium.
• "Enrichment": Manufacturers often spray back a small, synthetic mix of the lost nutrients (like specific B vitamins and iron), but the processed powder lacks the complex nutritional spectrum and fiber of the original whole grain.

Have you ever seen flour being milled? It's not something most people think about, but milling flour fresh makes a huge difference in taste and nutritional value.

I tried out a new fresh milled flour recipe just in time for fall. I prepped these delicious cinnamon apple muffins to have throughout the week, and they are so yummy! I also added oats and white chocolate chips. If you have a grain mill, I highly recommend trying this recipe, and if you dont, I recommend finding a similar recipe because these made my house smell so good!!

I used Khorasan wheat for this recipe. Khorasan wheat is an ancient, unhybridized grass variety known for its large golden kernels and rich, nutty flavor. It is nutrient rich and contains higher levels of protein, lipids, amino acids, zinc, selenium, and vitamins than modern wheat. It is so delicious and made super fluffy muffins.

Josh has been working his butt off building our dream front porch. He always makes all of my dreams come true, and im so lucky! It will eventually be covered and screened in. I wanted to share a progress video so we can look back on this and see how far it's come. Next year, we're gonna add on a lower uncovered porch next to this one that will have the kids mud kitchen/ play area! I'm so excited!

What I offer my children to eat for breakfast vs what they actually ate today.
It's field trip Friday, and we have a super fun day planned, so fueling up is important!

Just recently hit 7 years of growing my hair. It's over 4ft long now. Should I make more hair care videos?? I'm thinking so.

Yesterday, our homeschool co-op took a field trip up to the Aullwood Audubon Center near Dayton Ohio, to check out the Trolls! These were so cool and have some really awesome stories behind them. Artist Thomas Dambo designs these giants with recycled materials, and he has built over 170 of them worldwide! We can't wait to do more troll hunting. taken in Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm by @foragingforlife

🦋🌼🌿 My first custom ordered cyanotype shirts 🌿🌼🦋

This customer wanted 2 shirts, one with a pocket design on the front and a big design on the back and one with just a big design on the back. She specifically wanted lots of botanicals but otherwise gave me free rein. I LOVE how these turned out.

9 months in 》》》 9 months out
I can't believe it's been 9 months of loving you, my sweet boy, even though I know I've been loving you way longer. Ravis name means sun, bringer of light, and he sure does live up to it. He lights up every room he's in. He smiles non-stop and is the sweetest, snuggliest, most inquisitive little soul. He has the most beautiful eyes that everybody compliments. I can't wait to see who he grows up to be. My soul needed him, I love him so so much! I still can't believe I get to be his momma, and I have a little boy.
He has one tooth now, he pulls himself to standing, so I'm sure he'll be walking so soon, he loves all the foods he's tries and mommy's milk, he loves his sisters and daddy, and he is just so content with life. My littlest love. by @foragingforlife
