In case you missed it, we packed up and moved. This Philly girl is turning New Englander (once we get a house). As we have been in this never-ending transition, one of the tasks I continue to face is using as much of our freezer food as possible. Most reasonable people aren’t canning, baking, and freezer cooking when packing up a house, but goodness knows I’m not known for being reasonable.

About the Mockmill

Just one week before we moved I was testing a brand new kitchen toy – The Mockmill. This “toy” takes baking from scratch to a whole new level by allowing you to mill your very own flour with a grinding stone right within the mixer attachment. It also gives you the ability to have the freshest flour possible (wheat berries, rice, corn, teff, and so many other grains and beans).

I must tell you I would rather be baking than packing my house up any day. The little reprieve my recipe testing gave me was just enough to recharge me for a few more boxes. Sadly, it also marked the time for me to pack up the last of my most used small appliances for the next 2 months, and I’m going through withdrawal.

Wolfgang Mock was inspired to create his own electric mill after he got tired of the hand cranked mill he was using and had enough frustration with the electric ones available in the 70s. With a passion for eating better, he didn’t want to just give up on the goodness of freshly-milled flour, so instead, he worked to perfect his own mill – the Mockmill. The Mockmill is a grain mill attachment that can be put right on your favorite kitchen stand mixer and it delivers freshly-milled flour in no time.

I already have an electric mill and the Mockmill is quieter and grinds the grain just a little finer. It also takes up much less space, which I love, and is a cinch to pop on my mixer for just the amount I need. Plus, it’s easy to clean up. That’s a huge win with our hectic schedules these days, right? Best of all, Mockmill is offering a special package for you that includes the Mockmill, a grain package (gluten and gluten-free options), and a special reprint of the book Flour Power.

Whole Wheat Cranberry Coconut Bread with the Mockmill

Using up my frozen foods has been a challenge. I hate that I need to use up my stockpile but that means I have more space to preserve fresh produce once we are settled in our new home.

Cranberries are one of my favorite berries to preserve since you can really only get them for a limited time each year so I had plenty to use up. From Clementine Cranberry Baked Oatmeal to this delicious Cranberry Coconut Bread, we’ve been loving this fall favorite gem for a couple weeks now.

Using freshly milled flour is easy when you have a product like the Mockmill, but sometimes you need to experiment a little bit. You will note I mix my flour and liquid together while I prepare the rest of the ingredients. Since I use a hard winter wheat in many of my recipes, I find that 5-10 minutes allows the freshly milled flour to start absorbing the liquid a bit, leaving you with a scrumptious loaf (or round) of bread.

When the bread is warm out of the oven, drizzle a tablespoon of your favorite honey over top and take a bite – hearty nutty bread, tart cranberries, subtle coconut, mellow honey – they will all hit your tastebuds and make you melt back in your chair. Just what you were hoping for on a lazy weekend morning or a morning you only wish was lazy.
