Bread & Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole

Made more goat cheese today... I followed This Recipe from My Country Blog of This and That. I had alittle over 1 quart of whey when I got done & wanted to use some of it, so I seen this Amish Bread Recipe on a fb friends page & decided to use whey in it instead of water. To all my dairy goat friends what other ways do you use your whey?

This bread taste sooo yummy! My family LOVES it. This is the only bread recipe they want me to make now, lol. Dylan told me it was the bomb! Hey... thats a really good complement coming from your teenager. Really, you should make this bread for your family.

Last night I put a hg processed chicken in the crock, it cooked on low all night long & a big part of today. Decided to make Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole with it, recipe at bottom of post
.

Good Stuff :)

My Headlamp... Shoot me 31/52

Dont take much to make me happy...

My honey went to the store the other night & brought me home this cool headlamp, I had one before but it was smaller & somehow got broken... hummm any teenagers want to confess about that one? Anyways... this thing is super cool, I used it for the 1st time last night to go lock up the barnyard animals that live on Our Little Farm. Man it was like daylight outside. I was so happy walkin around shinning my light on everyone. I really got to see the glow of everyones eyes. I bet they where wondering what the heck what goin on, lol. No monsters are gonna sneak up on me now when I have to go out & lock the barnyard up in the dark ;)

*Shoot Me! It's time to stop hiding behind that camera of yours. Your family is missing you in the picture. So it's time to post a picture of YOU (yes, you) every Thursday with your child, your spouse, your friend, your dog, or even by yourself. Just get in the picture, you'll be glad you did! And just jump in now with 1 of 52, you can do it

Spreadable Goat Cheese...

I really wanted to make a spreadable cheese so I just followed that same recipe that I used for the 1st goat cheese I made then after about an hour of draining I put it in the food processor & added some whey til it was spreadable. I just seasoned it with kosher salt, cracked pepper, basil, garlic powder... really it takes on the flavor of whatever herbs you use. I really think this would be good with bits of bacon, green onions... or basil pesto mixed in it. ;)

*This would make a good ricotta too

Milkin Goats... Shoot Me /52

If you havent heard... I have 2 Kinder Dairy Goats. I started milkin em on 9/10... the girls & I have had our ups & downs this week with milkin & alot of it had to do with me not having a milkin stand... you see thats the way they are use to being milked. Well we fought during milkin time for 3 days, then on 9/13 my wonderful handyman husband built me a milkin stand (I'm gonna post about this on my Our Little Farm blog) by takin down & usin some of our back porch, Thanks Honey.

This pic was taken the 1st day I started milkin

My milkin stand is great, I love it. I love the fact that I dont have to fight with the girls... we still have to build the head thing & feeder tray. But for now this works. Since 9/10 I've gotten about 2 gallons of goats milk, I think thats pretty cool. Check out the goats cheese I made. I plan on makin some more today... I really like it.

Made my 1st goat cheese...

Heres the recipe I went by...

Make Soft Goat Cheese

Put 1 quart milk in stainless steel or enamel pan. Heat to 170°F. Stir in the juice of 2 lemons for 15 minutes. If stringy curds do not form, add more lemon juice. Pour mixture into colander lined with cheesecloth. Drain over a bowl for at least 2 hours. The drained curds will give about ½ cup of mild cheese to use as cream cheese or like cottage cheese. Refrigerate.

* I think next time I'm only gonna let it drain til no more whey is dripping, not the 2 hours. I wonder if that will keep is spreadable? Mine was crumbly, before I put it in my lil mold, which is fine... I think it would taste good sprinkled in some hot pasta or a salad.

** After it drained & I put it in a bowl I mixed some dried basil, garlic powder, sea salt & pepper to it... I plan on experimenting with different spices & herbs.

*** If you have a favorite goat cheese recipe please email it to me, I love tryin new things

I saved the whey & today I'm gonna try to make alittle ricotta
