Home Dairy~

I just love anything homemade!

And,

home dairy products are living up 

to my expectations.

Yum~

And, for the most part,

easy.

Time consuming?

Yes.

But, so worth it!

After having our dairy goats for ten weeks now,

I'm finally getting into a rhythm, if you will, of

what to do with the milk.

Of course, drinking it is always good :)

But, there's extra at our house.

So, I started out replacing what I had been doing with cow's milk,

with goat's milk.

First, simple dairy culturing, like yogurt.

Seriously, ANYBODY can make homemade yogurt!

If really is THAT easy~

Then kefir, sour cream, and buttermilk.

I found a great online eclass for cultured dairy that 

I really can't recommend enough.

I'm certainly not making 'perfect' cheeses, but have been happy with

our homemade goat cheese, mozzarella, and ricotta.

All relatively easy using cultures & rennet.

This past week I found a series of books at the library 

that I've heard a lot about.

I took two of them home to browse through~

 And,

found this recipe~

And, 

made it.

Queso Blanco
(a Mexican-type cheese)

I was pleased with how it turned out,
the flavor, the ease of making it,
and that you can make it, drain it,
and eat it the same day~
My kind of recipe!
