Grinding wheat

I have had buckets of wheat for over 2 years, and have only ground it into flour on one occasion.  I don't own a wheat grinder, so that makes it difficult.  I have a friend here in my ward who let me borrow hers.  It was awesome, an attachment for my mixer.  I ground a lot of wheat that day so I wouldn't have to borrow it again for a while :)
 It looks so wonderful.  I love baking with wheat flour.  Don't get me wrong, I've got a definite soft spot for homemade white bread and rolls, but wheat is a whole different ball game.
In the past, baking wheat bread has been kind of a problem area for me.  I have never found a recipe that I really like, so I get discouraged and take a break from trying.  Well, I was ready again!
 Anabelle wanted to help me the whole time it was grinding
 So she scooped up more wheat for me.  What a good helper!
 We didn't get the attachment hooked up properly our first try, so wheat went everywhere.  
 I forgot to take pictures of my wheat bread, but it turned out fabulously.  Delicious!  I will definitely be making more.  Yay for not having to buy bread at the store :)

Since I don't have pics of the bread, I thought I would include some of the tasty chocolate pudding cake I made in my crock pot.  Yummy!
 Topped with homemade whipped cream and chocolate shavings....I will be making this again too.
Of course AB approved

I will post pics of bread next time I make it.
