Spelt Flour

We're meeting another family for brunch this morning. I hope to stop in on the church Christmas craft sale, just to have a look. The kids have tennis lessons, then L is attending another party in the evening. She tries to keep Sundays free for just homework. It's a good idea for K as well.

At our restaurant dinner last night, I had a 'spelt linguine primavera' (pasta with vegetables). I had never heard of spelt flour before. It tastes a bit like whole wheat, and is considered slightly more nutritious, with more protein and a bit less calories than whole wheat flour. It has been cultivated for hundreds of years.

Pete, it sounds like you can also make breads and cakes with it.

Kay, good idea to try the flour.

SoccerMom it sounds delicious. I may have to make my own cake out of the flour as I don't think I have a Whole Foods nearby.
