What this is all About

We are a mom and her daughters who like to experiment with making good meals and snacks for our families. This is mostly a collection of our recipes and thoughts on eating. Our highs and lows of trying to nourish our families.

It worked!

Okay, so last night around 7:30 or 8 p.m. I checked the yogurt, and it was done. Not curdled and sour, not runny, but real honest-to-goodness yogurt. It smells like vanilla. Curse that vanilla-flavored Mountain High! If I ever do this again, I will buy plain yogurt. The salad dressing that I made was not good. I did eat it on my salad last night, but couldn't handle the vanilla flavor with the spices, so I ended up dumping the rest of the bottle down the sink. I should have done what Josie says she does, and just made half a recipe. So now I have about three quarts of vanilla yogurt, including the one that I bought. What to do with it? Well, I'm going to make one quart of it into yogurt cheese, and see about making a cheesecake. I'll try to eat some of it with some strawberries and/or raspberries and/or bananas stirred--maybe even blended--into it. And, finally, if all else fails, I'll put the rest of it into the ice cream freezer and see about making some frozen yogurt. Some people do like frozen yogurt, and that would be a way of preserving it for those people to enjoy sometime in the future.

Next week: cottage cheese.
