I can't believe I got through that! Towards the end I almost lost it as Emry was being super funny with the video camera, but we did it.
I noticed we didn't get a good shot of the actual rollers so I wanted to post some pics of them. The groats themselves are really soft and roll quite easy.

Now we know why they're called rolled oats, they are literally rolled. Look at those ridges!!!!!! I am so in love.
Now that I know how to put videos on here, get ready for some serious footage of the Wallwork kids. Oh yeah, it's coming. Ready or Not.

Great video! How great is that roller?? Those oats are beautiful. If oats can be considered beautiful....
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsey.
DeleteWow.. who know oats could be so perrrtyyyy! ha
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly.
DeleteThat's so cool! I bet it is a workout too! Love the video...more please!
ReplyDeleteAll right, you asked for it.
DeleteI love your first video! looking forward to more! you're brave. :)
ReplyDeleteRemember the definition of brave isn't not being scared, it's doing something EVEN THOUGH you're scared. My roller deserves to be famous, it's awesome!
DeleteBrave, indeed! I don't think I could ever do a video post... I can't even get a regular, non-video post done!
ReplyDeleteI find the older I get the braver I get and the more likely I am to make a fool of myself and not care. A video had to be done, pics alone would not have done my fabulous oat roller justice.
DeleteHow cool!! I think I'm going to have to get one of these! I love that you did a video!
ReplyDeleteMandy I can't believe I did. I am the most technology challenged person alive. We'll see if I can remember how to do it all.
DeleteI agree! How cool! And you are a natural on camera...beautiful and charming! Thank you for sharing and thank you for visiting my blog. You should eat a croissant as soon as you can. They are a much-needed treat, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I usually don't indulge in really rich food but am great at taking a million bites of everyone's around me, that way I don't feel bad right?
DeleteYou're just so adorable. Seriously. :o) And that is totally better than jewelry! I think I need one, too!!! Then we could have fresh eggs AND fresh oats for breakfast! Where do you buy the groats, though? And why are they called groats??
ReplyDeleteOat Groats are what they are when they are harvested. Steel cut would be the next form, then rolled oats, then instant. Once rolled or ground they are susceptible to losing their nutrients. That is why I like to grind my flours and oats fresh, so they retain as many of their original nutrients as possible.
DeleteI realized I didn't answer your question. I get them at an actual grain mill about an hour from my home. I get Wheat Kernals, Oat Groats, Amaranth, really they sell any type of grain you want. I buy in bulk to save money and if they are not ground they have a long shelf life.
DeleteYou can order online but I am sure the shipping would be astronomical. I would inquire about grains at your local health food store. If you are interested I am sure they could order for you.
I bet the freshly ground version tastes amazing!
ReplyDeleteOops make that freshly rolled. Where is my brain?
ReplyDeleteYou could grind the groats and then you would have oat bran. The taste, in my humble opinion, is outstanding.
DeleteThanks for the comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are darling. I love the posts that I've read.
I've never ground oats. It looks quite delish.
My mom's from Preston Idaho so I have a place in my heart for all things Idaho.
Deleteyou are so cute!!! i bet those taste SO much better then quaker oats!
ReplyDeleteI never knew such a thing existed! How cool is that:)
ReplyDeleteI didn't either until a few years ago, I just never thought about it. I am becoming a freshly ground grain snob though.
DeleteIt's so fun to hear your voice again! You are so stinking cute Marie!! Yum...fresh oats!! By the way I still love the coconut butter on steel cut oatmeal, thanks! I remember my mom grinding her wheat on the back patio when I was little- so good to make things super fresh and healthy! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy mom too. I got smart and make my kids do it. On one side of my wheat grinder the clasp is broken so there is residual wheat powder everywhere. I make them do it outside of course, for all the neighbors to hear.
DeleteLove the video Marie! You are so technical to know how to do that! I am lucky I get my posts up in one piece!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
I have no technology knowledge whatsoever. Emry filmed and my husband put it on the blog. I couldn't figure how to put up a video if my life depended on it. But thanks for thinking I could!
DeleteWow. You made your own rolled oats?!?! That's impressive. Who knew. And now will you be making oatmeal cookies?
ReplyDeleteYup. I use them for granola, cookies, breakfast. I love the taste of freshly ground grains, and of course the health benefits.
DeleteI would love to try freshly rolled oats!!
ReplyDeleteI loved your sound effects when rolling your oats. ("zizzizzizzz")
ReplyDeleteMarie!!... hearing your voice makes me miss you lots! We need a trip to SoCal soon. Don't ya think?
Yes!!!! I do think so, we miss and so love you all. We loved your Christmas card, the kids thought it was so cool and asked why we couldn't do a picture of us all on dirt bikes. Aren't I awesome at sound effects? I am a total pro on camera.
DeleteHey what a perfect present for you. I'm surprised I hadn't heard about it sooner. Glad you love it so much. Take care,
ReplyDeleteShauna
Totally, anything you would find in the Ingall's home is right up my alley. Between baking and granola and breakfast you wouldn't believe how many groats we go through.
DeleteGreat! That roller is great!!
ReplyDelete(I use oats mostly for vegie burgers.:) I add the oats in the vegetable soup, use them for granola... I think I need this roller, too.?! :))
And you in the video... Good job!! Looking forward to see more... :)
Thanks, I love it. We go through oats like water here.
Deletehahaha too funny! i can't even imagine emry behind the camera.
ReplyDeleteYum, I might like that!
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe how easy that is. It's just a few seconds!
ReplyDeleteYou're adorable!
thank you so much for your encouraging comment on my post, "you lead." i hope your daughter enjoyed the song as much as we do! :) have a blessed week!

Lila loved it, we've listened to it at least a dozen times. What talent that girl has, thanks for introducing her to us, we all love her!
DeleteWhat a fun gift. I like the multitasking purposes for it.
ReplyDeleteIs anything done to oats between being harvested and being rolled? I'm just thinking that my dad is a farmer, so I could pick up some fresh oats from him...I'm not sure, but it seems like there's a step in between the combine and the roller.
