Wheat, Anyone?

So, for family home evening last night we had a wheat grinding contest. Our lesson, obviously, was on Food Storage. We decided we better know what to do with all that wheat we are storing. All I have right now is a hand grinder, so we had to grind our own wheat and then made "Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies". Mmmmmm. They really weren't bad but the kids thought they were a little better with butter spread on them! Anyway, when we were grinding the wheat the kids got a kick out of seeing how much they could do so everyone got 1 minute to grind as much as they could. These are the results:
Tayden: 1/8 cup
Kaylee: a little over 1/8 cup
Tyler: 1/4 cup
Karyna: 1/4 cup
Mom: 1/2 cup
Dad: about 3/4 cup.
Congrats Dad! I would have never guessed you'd win this one! Here's a video I put together of the kids. Can you believe how fast they are?

Hilarious! I love Tay-man without his shirt on. Funny kid. Such a good idea. You need to post the recipe on the Morgan recipe blog.
