Creating a Homegrown and Homemade Life
Anybody else remember shaking a jar of cream and marbles as a kid? I can’t remember anybody ever actually making butter. Whipped cream at best. While fun, it was efficient. So as an adult, what if I taught you how to churn butter in a mixer instead? Your arms won’t get nearly as tired and there’s no chance of a marble breaking the jar.
So, you’ve bought the raw milk and now you need to skim off the cream. They make fancy machines, but unless you drink a lot of milk that isn’t necessary. You can learn how to separate cream from milk without any special tools, using things you likely have on hand already.
Seed oils have gotten a lot of bad publicity lately. So now everybody wants to learn how to render beef tallow in the Crock Pot. It is much healthier for you and makes some delicious french fries. Whether you want to use it for face cream or fried chicken the process is the same.
Sourdough pretzel bites make a great after school snack. They are good sprinkled with salt or cinnamon sugar. Add some melted butter or cheese sauce to dip them in and you’ll have to add another hole to your belt. Auntie Anne’s ain’t got nothin’ on my sourdough starter!
Sourdough pretzel dogs make for a yummy lunch. They are easy to make and store well in the freezer for an easy lunch later too. We like ours dipped in BBQ sauce. The pretzel dough makes them a lot more filling than a regular hot dog bun, so even my husband can only eat one.
