You can find Aut at Along the Road where she records her family's journey through marriage, kindergarten, and a simple healthy approach to life.

Grain Mill Wagon Experience: First I would like to thank WonderMill for giving me the opportunity to participate in the Grain Mill Wagon Challenge. It has been lots of fun experimenting with new recipes and seeing the change in my family's health along the way. Although baking everything from scratch isn't always easy or convenient, it has definitely been worth the effort. I look forward to using my WonderMill for many years to come.

Being a true southern girl, I have a love for biscuits that’s deeper than the tall tails my grandfather tells.  But I don’t want just any biscuits, I want homemade, soft, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits.  My grandmother made the best kind, and … Continue reading →
