I’d like to take a moment to thank our guest blogger for February, Jo-Lynne Shane of Musings of a Housewife for guiding us through the tricky world of whole grains. We would also like to thank our sponsor Bread Beckers for their plethora of information on whole grains, their importance in our everyday diets, and not to mention our giveaway prize for this month!
The winner of a grain mill or mixer courtesy of Bread Beckers is:

I haven’t gotten my repledging email yet.
I’m excited for this month’s “challenge.” I got a pasta attachment for Christmas and I’ve only made pasta twice since then.
Thanks for the inspiration last month…I made five loaves of whole wheat bread!
Says above that I need to go to ypur Facebook page to pledge or renew my commitment to get entered to win a pasta attachment for my kitchen aid…I’m not on Facebook. Can I still be entered some other way? I got an email last month… Thanks.
