After making raw yogurt I decided to try a cooked version. At first it looks hard. It seems like there are a lot of steps. But in reality it’s very easy. You’re basically doing 4 things – heat the milk, let it cool a little, add the culture and let it sit. So it’s really not …
Raw Yogurt
Last week I made my first batch of yogurt. I decided to start with the easiest method. After all, if the easiest method produces good yogurt it makes sense to make it that way. Plus the easiest method keeps the milk raw and unheated. So you don’t lose anything. I followed the method in the …
Guest Post – Pumpkin Smoothie…Plus GAPS-legal Pumpkin Ice Cream!
Today I have a guest post at Gapalicious! My first guest post. Go check it out. Thanks, Hannah for asking me! A little add on to my smoothie post…you can turn it into ice cream! Yesterday morning I made my usual smoothie. Then I put half of it in my ice cream maker. 15 minutes …
Pumpkin Pie Pudding Parfait
We are currently getting 3 gallons of milk a week. And since I can’t drink milk yet, that is a fair amount to use. So I was trying to think of things to make with it last week and decided to make a batch of creamy chocolate pudding. Then as I was thinking about what dessert …
The Letter I
Last week we did the letter I. Kind of a tough letter. We didn’t do a whole lot. We took lots of time to use our imagination (our big I word). Rebecca is very good at that. Letter I food – we made pumpkin ice cream character – integrity (stand up for what you believe …
Meal Plans Week of 11-6-11
Here we are…one of the worst mornings of the year in my opinion…adjusting to the time change. Which means my body is not happy. And I already have a cranky little boy up. And who knows when Rebecca will be up. Not the ideal start to the week. Hopefully everyone will adjust quickly. I’m glad that …
God’s Perfect Timing and Placement
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written any reflective posts. But I’ve been thinking lately about God’s perfect timing. I’ve talked about it in the past. And I was reminded of it again lately. Oddly enough it relates to food 🙂 Last winter we tried raw milk for the first time. It was at …
Sour Cream (GAPS-legal)
I mentioned before that we started our cow share on Monday. So my dairy adventures continue this week. I made ice cream on Tuesday. Yesterday I made sour cream. I have read various methods on how to do it/what ingredients to use. So I just started experimenting and using what I have on hand. I …
Pepper Steak (Grain Free, Dairy Free, GAPS-legal)
Once in a while I ask Justin if he has any specific requests for dinner. This week he asked for pepper steak and mashed potatoes. So that’s what I made last night. It’s a recipe from my MIL. It’s very simple and very good. I adjusted the ingredients to make it healthier (since I don’t …
Pumpkin Ice Cream
We are finally getting raw milk again. We had our first pick up on Monday. So of course on Tuesday we had to make ice cream…in November 😛 I used the usual Nourishing Traditions recipe and tweaked it a little to make pumpkin ice cream. YUM!!! All three of us like it. I used a …
