I’m so happy to be able to share a couple of pretty exciting things today.
Contributing Food Writer at MomAdvice!
First, I’m really thrilled to be over at MomAdvice today sharing my first contributing post. That’s right, I’m one of their new food contributors. I’m really excited to be a part of the MomAdvice team and have been delighted in getting to meet new mama’s with so many different talents.
For my first post, I developed einkorn flour, naturally sweetened pumpkin bars. Let me tell ya… these are good. Really good.
They’re perfectly moist, gently sweetened, and made nourishing by using Jovial’s high extraction einkorn flour.
Head on over to MomAdvice to get the recipe! Don’t forget, you can shop Jovial’s online store and get 10% off and Free Shipping by using coupon code… HumbleK.

What a generous giveaway! Love your blog, just did the 25 Day Grace Filled Journey and got some great ideas! But would probably use the giveaway to buy lumber towards the new fence for our Belted Galloway bull calf that we are raising for meat. I keep telling myself he’s cute now, but won’t be at 1600lbs! We are trying to become a self-sustaining farm and every little bit helps! Keep up the inspiration!
Probably a grain mill – looking forward to that purchase
That recipe looks very delicious and I’m curious about this einkhorn flour! That might be an investment in the works shortly. Thanks, Diana
I am glad for you to go to Honduras! Some people from my church just returned from there. I went to China last year and built some greenhouses for some people in remote villages. It was wonderful! My first time out of the states and I was 50! LOL
Hopefully I will find a local source of einkorn this summer, until then I’m going to have to put this yummy looking recipe in reserve.
As a response to your giveaway, I would likely use this money on my next bulk order of food, which typically consists of nuts, peanut butter, oats, and other grains we don’t grow ourselves. We buy through Clnf.org
It would be toward my “I need a vitamix” fund! 🙂
I would use it at my local health food store, Wheatsfield Coop!
A new blender! Both my lame blender and my stick blender recently died, and I don’t have a food processor either. I need to get something sharp that whirs quickly!
I would put it towards all sorts of little yet necessary purchases that we’ve been putting off so we can pay our bills.
Honestly, I would use it to buy groceries. At this point – that’s where my fam could use the cash!
