With our goats producing extra milk, above what we were able to drink, I was able to try making various milk-based products like Feta Cheese, Ricotta (the simplest of all) and yogurt.  Making your own yogurt can sound very simple and it really was after I found a method that actually worked. How NOT to Make Yogurt Since it’s been awhile since I had my yogurt failures I cannot tell you the exact ways I tried; I should have written this a long time ago!  I do know that I tried making it in my Easiyo yogurt maker and ended up having more of a kefir than a yogurt.  We used that…

A lot of work and time has gone into this garden.   Zachary did all the work and we are very appreciative of his labors. Plenty of lettuce for a nutritous, enzyme filled green salad with… Honey Mustard salad dressing on top.  It is soooo good!!  I would really love to share this recipe but my sister would come after me since it’s a Family Secret. Don’t be fooled by her beautiful, bright smile… …there’s that other side of her.  Miss Karate Woman.  Fearsome!  Absolutely fearsome! So maybe if you’re really lucky you can find a Honey Mustard dressing out there in Recipe land.  Try it and you may find that it will become your new favorite…

Potatoes au Gratin paired with this Salisbury Steak make a delicious supper as we found out last week.  The pictures kind of make you think you would be better off if you never  ate it, but the flavor is where it’s at folks.  It is so good.  This meal was a keeper for everyone but Audrey.  Maybe the next time it shows up on our table, she’ll have a different opinion. Bad picture quality, I know.  Sorry about that… Even if you aren’t a fan of mushrooms, you’re going to like this.  Just don’t use the mushrooms and all will be okay.  I got this recipe from Cooking During Stolen Moments and changed a…

I have the hardest time making breakfast in the morning.  I wake quite early but to hustle into the kitchen at 7a.m. and to get started on a big hot meal is really difficult for me.  So, I’ve been contemplating making breakfasts’ in bulk and freezing them, minimizing my preparation time in the morning.  I’m at the point where I’m ready to DO it. I’ll still be making baked oatmeal, waffles and such because those are quick and easy but we can’t have that every day, can we?  Or can we? 🙂  My husband’s grandpa had oatmeal every day for years.  That made life simple for everybody, didn’t it?  🙂  But…  I just…
