Food food food...

I know some people think I am a little crazy for making my own yogurt, but it is way to easy and cheap to pass up. I thought I would give a little tutorial for you all in case you too are interested in making your own yogurt.

First you heat milk to between 170 and 180 degrees. Make sure you stir it so that it doesn't "stick" to the bottom.

Remove from heat and let cool until 110 degrees.

Add a cup of yogurt and stir well.
Then...if you have a yogurt maker...place it in there for about 8 hours.
(Sorry about the sideways pic...too lazy to fix it today)

If you don't have a yogurt maker, you can place the "yogurt" in mason jars with warm packs in a cooler for 8 hours.

Put it in the fridge and enjoy!!


On another note, the kids and I tried out a recipe from Whimsy Love for molasses cookies .
Let me just say these are the BEST cookies I have ever had. They are so moist and yummy....oh and with a glass of milk, you are totally in heaven! So go grab this recipe and enjoy!



Cooper loved the batter! I don't blame him...

I just made them last night too! Yum. I am still trying to find a recipe like Nana's molasses cookies that I remember so dearly!

I have that verysame yogurt maker! I made two batches yesterday, and ate nearly half the second batch with my homemade granola and bananas for breakfast today. So. Stinking. Yummy.

OH and Court, I think my dad found a recipe that is close to Nana's...I will get that one too!!
