In reply to Michelle. I've found it at my Stop & Shop, Trader Joes has some brown rice pasta, it's not Tinkyada but it's really good!

So what brands are really 100% whole wheat then? I’m still a little confused

You definitely got more comfortable as the video went on. It was a great video! You know what you’re talking about, and that’s what matters!

Wear a blue or green shirt against the white background next time – white on white’s not a good combo.

Keep it up!

In reply to Rebecca H. I'm sorry to say but no its not 100% whole wheat. Durum is a class of wheat, just as semolina "white" pasta is also 100% durum wheat. It has more nutrients in it than regular white pasta but it still has been refined and processed more than true 100% whole wheat.

So I am wondering I pulled out the box I bought at our local store Winco. It is Hodgson Mill. Whole Wheat Whole grain Lasagna. In ingredients in list one: 100% Durum whole wheat flour.

So does that mean it is whole wheat or not. I am a little confused.

Thanks for the vlog. Great to see your face and hear your voice. Thanks for answering questions too

Great vlog, can’t wait for the rest. I have been sugar free white flour free, well anything processed really since the beginning of the year. I find my body is so much happier off all these things. Keep the vlog and blogs coming and thanks for sharing with us.

What would you say are your top 5 ingredients you keep highly stocked and use most often? Great Vlog by the way, I always wondered about the ‘durum’ flour word. Its a lot tougher to find 100% whole wheat but definitely possible. I love your recipes.

Perfect voice quality, tone and pitch for a vlog Brenda! Many women, myself included, have higher pitched voices (we’ll always sound like we’re a child or very VERY excited) and they can be quite grating, especially when listened to through laptop/desktop quality speakers.

“Um” was not distracting to me. You came across very personable. A woman’s woman. A mom’s mom.

I work from my home office in Iowa for a company based out of Ohio and with no office noise to keep me from going insane (*smile*), I listen to a lot podcasts/vlogs/pre-recorded broadcasts throughout the work day. I can assure you, you’ll have at least one listener each time you post!
