To separate your cream it would be so much easier to use a party beverage dispenser. Where you put the liquid in the top and there is a spigot at the bottom. They are usually glass or plastic. Put your raw milk in, put in fridge, let separate, put a jug under spigot and pour out till cream is at the bottom. Much easier than spooning it out. 😊

My dad (would be 106) said when he was a boy they hung the clabber cheese in a cheese cloth off a tree branch and let it drip until it had stopped dripping. I always pictured this in the shade but he didn’t say that. They would check it periodically to see when it was done and eat it. He never called cottage cheese anything but clabber cheese. I wish I could ask him all the questions and write it all down - he had such a wealth of knowledge! 😊

@maryarcher8484 Жыл бұрын

He called it clabbered because they would set the milk, usually the milk left from churning butter. Left on the table or counter to clabber and sour. This would be what they used for Buttermilk, and cottage cheese. Yes, I can remember my Mother and Grandmother doing this. I have done this also when on the farm. We always hung the cheese cloth from knob of cabinet to drip into a bowel. That drip was usually thrown away but I'm sure during the depression it was poured back into buttermilk or at least used to make bread or biscuits. Maybe given to chickens or pigs or dog's you can believe it was used for something on the farm or homestead.

I was making bread since I was very young, but as an adult, I was not doing it enough, and I fell off from enjoying store-bought bread. Some years ago I slowly got back to it. Now I have not bought bread since late 2021. I enjoy making my own yogurt since about 2017 or 2018. I hardly eat pasta, but the little ones love it. I have not made my own in a long time, but I'm returning to doing that today. I stopped buying pasta sauce for some years. One day I'll get to Kombucha. Thanks for sharing.👍🏽👍🏽

Just butter the bread as you normally would..add the shredded cheese (I love a blend) and put the buttered piece on top. You can make several at 1 time. Bake on 425 for about 7 minutes then flip for an additional 7 min or until golden brown. It's perfectly crispy & buttery ❤

With far fewer at the table, we buy very few seasoning mixes any more too. Having easy access to bulk spices which happen to be significantly cheaper than bottled spices led me to just seasoning as I cooked which over time led me to periodically making my own mixes for a few items. It just happened over time without an effort to reduce seasoning packets. The last time we used a taco meat mix, we were surprised at how salty our taste buds thought it was.

If you want to make rolls more often, it is best if you use a scale to weigh them out. It helps them to proof and bake evenly. The other thing that helps is the hand rolling motion. You may be able to find a video on rolling technique but, how I do it is with a cupped hand putting just enough pressure on the dough to push into the table but not make them flat so the are still round. They are ready to put in the pan when the bottom no longer has a "hole" in it. Hope that helps some. 😊

Thank you for validating my efforts to eliminate contaminants from the food for our families. I grind all our own flour, I do use organic yeast but keep sourdough starter on my counter for countless uses. I try to find and buy whole spices when I can and grind in small batches to preserve the fragrance, flavor and nutrition. I live about 40 minutes away from a thriving Amish and Mennonite community where I was a nurse at one of their long term care facilities. I get dressed chickens and rabbits, I have gotten beef and pork as well. I sometimes pay a bit more per pound but I justify that by realizing the time and effort put in to humanely and naturally raising their proteins cost them up front. I live in Iowa and as of July 2 we will be able to buy raw milk and I am SO excited. There were only 4 things on your list that you don’t buy anymore for your family, that for us I will buy now and then, such as yogurt and cottage cheese. We don’t typically eat those things regularly so the splurge when the craving hits doesn’t even hurt our budget. Thank you for sharing your cooking journey, your HONESTY about learning to cook and your entertaining family. And the recipes from Kenya! We have tried as many as I could figure out the measurements for!❤🎉😊

I make our own bread, bagels, English muffins, tortillas, rolls, soft pretzels, quick breads, salad dressings, granola and desserts so we don’t buy much of that at the store. I really want to make our own cheese but haven’t tried yet. I tried ice cream but we liked store bought better. Great list. We don’t buy canned soda either but we do buy a few two liters to share at dinner through the month which cuts down on the cost a lot.

I make my own tortillas and it is so easy, cheap and seeing what the one's you buy have in them is crazy. I can't eat shop one's anymore as I now find them super salty

Love it Sarah! Such an amazing effort with so many kids to make all those wonderful foods yourself! I aspire to do this again one day. 😊

For many years when I was much younger :) we had our own chickens so had fresh eggs, we bought raw milk (illegal in our province) and with that I made butter, cheese and yogurt as I took some of the cream off each gallon jug when I got it home. I did make my own seasonings and several dressings --- that was back when I had small children and then teenagers to feed! Now as a senior on my own, it isn't practical any longer. I still make some seasonings and give them as gifts (and keep a small amount for myself). I love to bake bread and still do that occasionally. Mostly though I make hamburger or hot dog buns as I can share those with my son's family since they live close by. "Homemade is better" is a motto I have used for many years :)
