After a family health crisis, Sue Gregg began to question
how to improve the nutritional value of the food she served
her family. Nine months on a rigorous, restrictive
health food diet, while successful in weight control and
health renewal, presented too many obstacles and evoked too
much resistance from her family. That experience convinced
her that few meat and potatoes eaters would tolerate drastic
dietary diversions.
“Would it be possible to transform familiar family recipes?”
Sue wondered and began experimenting with better quality
ingredients (white flour to whole grain, refined white sugar
to honey, hydrogenated fats to non-hydrogenated) to convert
old favorites such as minute bran muffins and cinnamon
rolls. Trial and error testing eventually achieved the
results she was looking for.
Her success did not remain hidden. Others with similar
concerns soon requested demonstrations, recipes, and cooking
classes. Recipes accumulated and cookbooks followed. Sue
shares her expertise with the readers of The Mother’s Heart
Magazine.

The Country Baker was started back in 1994 when she tasted
the most deliciously light and fluffy piece of bread from
flour milled
in a grain mill and kneaded in a Bosch Universal Mixer owned
by a friend. She couldn’t believe how tasty the bread was
but the ‘lightness’ of the texture was what really intrigued
her. This was bread that her children would eat sandwiches
from! After seeing how the entire process worked, (it only
took 1 ½ hours from start to finish!) she knew she had to
have these machines! Convincing her husband would be a task,
she says,
but "If I could just get him to taste the bread!" She did
and was
soon the proud owner of a Bosch Mixer and a Grain mill!
Her enthusiasm for great-tasting bread - the kind that the
kids eat the crust on - immediately led into the creation of
The Country Baker. Originally starting out as a small
‘hobby’ business, it’s grown full-force and they now offer a
wide-range of products for the home baker. Denise also
teaches bread-making classes.

Pastors Scott & Veronica met while attending Bible College
and since have actively pursued the increase of the Kingdom
of God. Their partnership has been built on the foundation
of faith. They planted a church in 1995 and have seen the
church continue to grow into a dynamic, thriving fellowship.
Pastor Scott believes every person was created for a unique
purpose on the earth and teaches on such topics as: family
relationships, the authority of the believer, living
victoriously on the earth, becoming everything you can be in
Christ and walking in love. His humorous approach makes the
Word fun and keeps people smiling as they learn more about
the life and the love of God. |
