HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP NAME CHANGE...
Hello everyone,
The leaders of the CORN INDUSTRY have intruduced a proposal to change the name of High Fructose Corn Syrup to "Corn Sugar" ....This would not be a good situation because of the health issues related to this product. People might get confused and think it is a safe product when studies have demonstrated that there are correlations between High Fructose Corn Syrup consumption and OBESITY, DIABETES, and other health issues as well.
A National Consumer Watchdog groups has petitioned the FDA to stop this from happening. Please learn more about this issue by clicking on the following link:

HOT CEREAL made from scratch...
Hello again,
In our previous post, we spoke about how one can grind their own grain in a simple Coffee Grinder...Now here is an easy recipe for cream-of-wheat, cream-of-oats, or even corn meal mush.
First, GRIND the grain of choice in your Coffee Grinder until it looks semi-fine....usually takes less than a minute. Put one cup of ground grain to four cups of regular tap water in a pot big enough to hold it. Then cook on medium/low heat until it has the consistency of thick oatmeal. Please make sure that you keep it stirred from the bottom...a little cooking spray around the inside of the pot before filling, is probably a good idea to keep it from sticking. If it does not start to thicken up after a few minutes of hard boiling, then a small amount of extra ground grain needs to be added. Then, one can use this thickened porridge just like it is with a little sugar and milk for breakfast...just like you would do for store-bought Cream of Wheat. If you want to eat fried cornmeal mush, simply ladle out the thick mixture on to a skillet that has been greased with olive oil....fry until brown like you normally would. Or, if you would like battered chicken or fish, dip your chicken or fish in this cooked grain mixture before baking in the oven...you can add any seasonings you like, as you desire. However, as you probably already know, you have to throw away of any extra batter that has had raw chicken or fish in it...unless you decide to boil it up again with more water added, and make it into a vegetable soup base.
These are many easy things that you can do with ground grain from a simple coffee grinder...

Grinding Grain, The Easy Way...
Hello everyone,
The subject that I would like to talk about today is that of GRINDING your own GRAIN. Many people think that it is just too expensive to buy a grain grinder and too time consuming to use it, and they find themselves wasteing their money and resources on store-bought products. However, the truth of the matter is that grinding your own grain for breads, hot cereal, and other foods simply couldn't be easier. Most people do not know that a simple inexpensive electric Coffee Grinder works pretty much as well as any regular grain grinder. And, cleanup is much easier too. What we do is buy our grain whole and in bulk 25# or 50# bags, store it in airtight jars, and grind it as we need it....the same way that one would grind Coffee Beans -only our grinder is devoted to grain. The flour that is the end result is usually a little more coarse than what some people are used to, but it makes delicious breads, hot cereals and other things. It normally has the texture of cornmeal. The recipes that can be used with this flour are endless.
If you like this post, please comment...and, if you would also like some recipes...we can give you some...free for the asking.

NEW USES for JUNK MAIL
Hello,
Do you hate the junk mail and advertisements that come in your mailbox?? I used to hate it too...but, not any more. I save approximately .04 cents to .05 cents every time I repurpose and reuse the return envelopes sent by advertisers -you know...those ones with a clear window that are blank, that most people throw away. I simply use a written on paper inside or outside to cover the blank plastic area with the address that I want to send it to. Then I apply a stamp, and viola, I save by using it for mailing instead of a regular envelope. One does have to be careful of barcoding -however. It is best, that if your envelope has a barcode, to blot it out with a magic marker, or your mail may not get to where you want it to. This may sound "cheap"...but, who was it that said, "a penny saved is a penny earned..."?? Benjamin Franklin, I think.
Do you have other uses for junk mail?? Please post them here in the comment section....or contact me, via email and I can post them for you.

Buying BULK GRAIN and other food products....
Hello,
I just wanted to tell everyone about a site where I buy some of our grocery items in bulk amounts. For example, I buy whole grains like wheat from this website and grind it myself, using an old coffee grinder for bread-making. I also buy large 25-50 lb bags of beans as well. This saves our household quite a bit of money that we can use to put toward other things we need. So, if any of you are interested, here is a link to the website...just click on the link and it should take you there. You will be amazed at how inexpensive some of this food is. I usually get the bags of whole grain and store them in washed/clean glass jars to keep them airtight. One bag of grain usuallly takes at least 20 jars to store on our back shelf. We then have a constant supply of grain for flour and cooking.

Let me know what you think of this site, or if you have any questions on food storage...
