I think in the first month it says to buy a hand grain mill. I have one of those, also an electric mill. I grind it for flour, and make bread out of it. I also store flour (white) to lighten the bread up. 100% whole wheat bread is just too heavy. Plus cracking the wheat is a good idea. You soak it in water, and then you can cook it for cereal for breakfast. I've also thrown in the cracked wheat into chili and soups. I'll post some recipes tomorrow and ping you.

Another way to grind wheat is with a blender. I read on a website that it shouldn't be done because it would wear out the blades, but there seemed to be know trouble when I ground the wheat a cup at a time. Thanks for the list Utah Girl. Here we go practically starting again on my supply (have enough for a couple of months probably). Everyone take a lesson from my husband's grandma. Make sure to rotate! Use what you buy. My husband's grandma didn't do that. She had enough food storage for herself, her husband, eight children, and a number of grandchildren. After she died we cleaned out her house and found some things that were from 1973.
