WonderMill Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies

 Chocolate Chip cookies are one of my all time favorites. I am particularly partial to homemade ones. You can't get much more homemade than when you grind your own flour. The WonderMill Electric Mill makes grinding fresh flour at home super simple. The result is absolutely delicious freshness in your recipes.

  When I tell you the WonderMill is easy to use, I mean it. Look how easy it is. Here is Hubby pouring in the hard red wheat berries we bought at our local health food store. Before you say it is to expensive to purchase wheat berries realize I paid $3.37 for 3 1/2 pounds of organic wheat. As you can see it was already hulled so we just opened the container and pour it into the WonderMill.

  This is how beautiful the freshly milled flour comes out. Remember this is organic too No chemicals or bleach. With the WonderMill Electric Grain Mill you can grind quality flours at home because the health of your family matters.  The cookies we made turned out crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. Hubby says that are excellent soakers too.


Ok here is the recipe:

Buckalope Elementary

 I received a copy of Buckalope Elementary's new DVD  for review. In this DVD, Buckalope Elementary talks about "Careers". I love how it explains that wanting fame and fortune is fine , but there are so many more practical careers out there that can be just as fulfilling.

 Buckalope Elementary uses many "furry friends" to entertain children in a way that is educational and fun.

 The teacher sings about all of the different types of jobs available and how they are all important parts of society. Really gets the young ones thinking about their options. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.

 Buckalope Elementary also teaches the difference between hobbies and careers and how you  can have a job doing what you enjoy or are talented at. Like say you want to be an artist try being a graphic designer. Remember you can have several different careers over your lifetime. This  is a fabulous DVD for kids.

 Info from the sponsor:
