Completing your cheese

In the morning your strain the separated curds from the whey. (I think there is a nursery rhyme about this!) And hang the cheese cloth for 6 to 8 hours and let the whey drain into a bowl.

Then you mix the cheese with herbs, I use Italian herbs and garlic salt and ta-da amazing cheese!!  We love it on crackers, sundried tomatoes, carrots and even salami. There you go instant diary farmer!  Your a Farm Chick!! Enjoy!!

Goat Cheese

As well as yogurt I have been making goat cheese, mozzarella, and of course ice cream!  Jeni's has a great Brown Butter Almond Brickle ice cream recipe that disappeared quickly in our house! But today I am sharing the goat cheese process.  I begin with warming my milk then adding the Chevre package.  Then you slip it in the oven in your stainless steel pot and let it sit overnight. 

Beautiful Sunflowers

Sunflowers just make me feel happy.  Here you can see in my garden they grow as big as my daughter's head! I love this picture both the flower and my daughter bring me such happiness!!  What a blessed mom I am!!

Homemade Yogurt

We are yogurt lovers in our house.  The thicker the better!  We use in on burritos, chili, salads and our favorite is yogurt with fruit and granola!  I got a new yogurt maker that uses glass jars, and it did not disappoint!
