Grain Mill Wagon Challenge Experience: I enjoyed the Grain Mill Wagon challenge. Having used freshly milled grains for some time, the challenge gave me the push needed to explore new types of recipes and work harder at converting recipes that we already love. My introduction to the WonderMilll also included my finding a good gluten free all purpose mix to adapt to my friends’ needs, and the ease of use of the mill made it a breeze. During the challenge, I ventured into sponge cakes made with freshly milled wheat, as well as pound cake. I really stretched my creativity and cooking abilities. During completion of the challenge, we used our WonderMill so frequently that it now enjoys a permanent home on the kitchen counter next to my stand mixer.
