Homemade yogurt

This was really easy to make. It just takes a day and a half to make it but mostly it is just sitting in your slow cooker or frig.

I filled 2 ice trays with plain yogurt for smoothie packs for the mornings. I love the Yoplait packs, but this is cheaper and I know there is no added sugar etc...in it.
Just cut up what ever fruit you like or is in season. Once the yogurt freezes I will add 6 cubes to a smoothie pack.

Here you can see the fruit and yogurt.

Recipe:
8 cups milk
1/2 cup plain yogurt/live culture
1/4 cup non-fat dry milk (thickening agent)

Place 8 cups of milk in a slow cooker and set on low for 2 1/2 hours. After the 2 1/2 hours are up, unplug the slow cooker and let it sit there for 3 hours. After 3 hours take out 2 cups warm milk and stir in the yogurt and dry milk. Pour that back into the slow cooker and cover. Take 2 heavy towels and cover the slow cooker (unplugged)for 8 hours or overnight. The next morning take a large bowl and colander with cheese cloth and pour the yogurt into the cheese cloth lined colander. Let it sit in the frig for 2-3 hours until it thickens. Keep the whey and add to different foods. Go HERE to see uses for whey.

You can add fruit in it or I am going to try it next time with sugar free vanilla pudding mix.

Sugar Overload

Tonight I made cookies for little man's teachers, oatmeal chocolate chip and espresso chocolate cookies. Of course I had to sample the cookies, 3 in total with milk and now I feel awful. I have been trying to not eat sugar and now when I do, I do not feel so good. After eating all that sugar I came across this article on over consumption of sugar. Go HERE if you are interested and it will take you to other links on how to sub out sugary snacks and cereals for you and your family.

What's for dinner tonight?

I have been in a BBQ mood lately since it is hot and it takes less clean up. Yesterday I made Bourbon Marinated Ribeye Steaks from the Meat Market (which I highly suggest) with macaroni salad and the new Grillin Beans (Steakhouse beans)
and fruit. It was very good and easy.

Tonight I am going to grill up chicken legs with a Chipotle rub from Pampered Chef that I ordered recently and love and 2 chicken jalapeno sausages from the Meat Market of course. I'll BBQ some corn on the cobb and make baked potatoes on the grill wrapped in foil. No sense in heating up the oven.

I love BBQ season for this reason. If you want to try another type of steak from the Meat Market, the Marinated New York steaks are really good too. The NY steaks and Ribeyes are $5.99 a pound and I only buy 2 steaks and hubby and I and the kids have plenty to eat.

I found a recipe for shrimp scampi that looks really good and is a lighter version. I may make that as well this week and then live off leftovers the days I have school.
If you know of any great BBQ meats, let me know.....we love our BBQ!

What...food?

This week had not been a food week for me. I have been stressed out with school and buys with little man's school program and parties etc... I have lots to do this coming week and will be gone 3 nights for school and an observation. I also have a mid term that I have started studying for and that is why we had take out tonight! Most likely these next couple of weeks I will only be making easy meals, plus I need to bake for the teachers at preschool since this is the last week of school. I need more time and for my parents to come back into town!! If you do not hear from me in the next week or two, you know what I am doing. Three more weeks and then I can enjoy my summer!
