Old Fashioned Day






I aimed to make wheat bread today. I had the wheat flour on hand as I've been wanting to make some. Then I happened upon a muffin recipe someone had sent me in a recipe exchange that called for wheat flour. So I made these "no white flour/no sugar" muffins.

I used Gramma Hof's old bowl and her mother's hand-shaped wooden spoon and mixed the batter up by hand. The bowl might have been Gramma Sychra's before it was Gramma Hof's. I'm not sure.








I did make the wheat bread too.
The muffins have blue, black and "rasp" berries in them and were sweetened with honey.
I love Gramma's crock bowl, don't you?

OMG! Those look (and sound) delicious. And yes, I love the bowl & spoon!

Kristy, those muffins were delicious! If you lived closer, you would know that! Mom--you are becoming a professional blogger! I don't know how you keep up with two when I can barely keep up with one.

I have learned the secret to blogging. Short and sweet -- and not too deep!

And a photo helps me. Throw in a picture and talk about it. A picture is worth a thousand words.
