Hey Reader!

And happy Monday.😎 It is feeling more and more like FALL where we live, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.😏 Hopefully this coming winter goes as fast as this summer did.

In other news, Holly has had her calf...

...so now we have lots of fresh raw milk! I'm so excited to get into making homemade milk products once more.

1 | butter🧈

I definitely missed having the fresh, rich, raw butter whilst the cow was dry, so this will likely be one of the first things I make:)

2 | yogurt

Homemade yogurt is another staple I like to make. We have instructions on how to make yogurt 2 different ways, (and neither of them include an InstantPot) so if you want to make actual raw yogurt you totally can.

3 | cottage cheese

And lastly, cottage cheese. Another really easy way to make use of raw milk! This is not the traditional old-fashioned way of making cottage cheese, like with rennet and bacterial cultures, letting the milk clabber on the countertop, and stuff. We'll be using a few simple ingredients - vinegar, milk, cream and salt. That's it!

GET the RECIPE

And then, I'm determined to make sour cream that actually tastes good and I'd love to try making milk kefir, too. And cheese.😅

Anyway, have a great last week of SUMMER!☀️

See ya,

P.S. The only special equipment you'll really need for making raw milk products is a thermometer. This instant read Thermapen is my favorite!

Hi Reader, Tomorrow is the officially the first day of FALL!🍂 So let's make something with pumpkin:) Our latest obsession - pumpkin pancakes!

🥞 PANCAKES 🥞

Hello Reader, Just letting you know there's a NEW RECIPE on the site: Fresh Milled Flour Pancakes I like these fresh milled flour pancakes because they are soft and fluffy and don't taste strong like baking powder. And of course, they're made with all whole wheat flour! When frying the pancakes, you can sprinkle on any fun things you like! I'm thinking chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberry pieces, bacon bits, etc. Alot of times, we eat these with just maple syrup (real maple syrup, NOT the...

2️⃣ Seasoning Mixes you can make at home 🏠

Hey Reader, Another Monday, another email! Hopefully your day is going great so far.🧡 In case you didn't know, I enjoy a good DIY recipe. Especially if the recipe is "cleaner", or healthier than the store-bought version of the thing, whatever it may be. I had made homemade laundry soap for a while, but I can't figure out how to scent it so my laundry actually smells clean after hanging outside to dry?! Anyway. Last week, I made 2 of the quickest, easiest DIY recipes ever: taco seasoning and...
