Hey guys! I just had a thought when Sara said she wished the sirracha flavored cheese had a slightly more vinegary taste. Have you ever freeze dried pickles yet? When you get them dry, grind them up into a powder then add your "pucker powder" to whatever you want to have that vinegary taste. A light sprinkle of that to the sirracha would put it over the moon! Let us know if you decide to try it. I use my pucker powder for all kinds of things from salads to dips and even in my version of German potato salad. It's a wonderful seasoning and so versatile.
Great video, but I have to say the most impressive part...was the pouring of the fresh milk from a 5 gallon bucket into the jars without spilling a drop. Now that’s impressive 😊😉
We had a “milk” refrigerator when we had a milk cow when I was kid. My mom used crocks that were about 6” inches deep that she poured the fresh milk in. She placed a dinner plate on top and stacked them in fridge. Because the crocks were essentially bowls, it was super easy to skim off the cream (my job). Mom churned once a week to make butter and butter milk with a large floor churn with a “dasher” made of oak that my dad made. I wish she hadn’t sold it.
We had a Jersey when I was a child ... my hands could never get the milking down right and no milking machine for us. My mom milked daily and my job was to skim cream and set the churn every night to churn butter using my grandmother’s crock churn with a cypress wood dasher and churn butter the next morning before school.
We had Buffalo. Very rich thick milk. we drank raw milk. At the time did not have fridge or even electricity in the village We boiled the milk three times. made yogurt/ butter, butter milk. Ghee. I loved thick cream after boiling and on cooling floating in pan. Rice with that thick cream- just yum yum - And that's paneer in Hindi they made. with lemon juice and curdled milk. to make sweet and sour Indian dishes
Love you channel guys!!! Don't dump the salted whey...keep it in a small jar and use it (as the water) in your homemade bread, sub it for the water when you cook oatmeal or in a soup stock...it gives it great flavor! Hugs and Blessings
Yum! Lotsa protien too! I think this is what's used to make protien powders that are really expensive. I make ricotta with mine... reheat it, strain through small holed cheese cloth, add a bit more salt & some rosemary. Knead it or stir with a fork, pop it in a container with a lid. Put that in the fridge for a couple of hours. Add it to lasagne, mozerella, eat it with basil and tomatoes on baby greens, etc. Yum!
Kevin and Sarah we love watching you two. You work so well together. We can tell through your videos that you enjoy each others company. With your new dehydrator, you two are turning into couple of mad scientists!
I’m sure you both have your days, but I’m impressed how you know what to do without using words. I like that he cooks as much as you garden/building fences! The two of you just work and have similar visions. You both found that rare relationship. Happy for all your adventures!
I don't buy junk food, so I learned recipes, too. Potato chips are super easy, and a great treat (use a potato peeler or cheese grater to cut them thin). Also fantastic is homemade tortilla chips. Some mesa flour, a little water, roll, cut and fry. Don't forget the salsa!
We always look for you and Kevin's videos first each morning and Justin Rhoades in the afternoon. Sarah, I love your attitude, how you and Kevin work so well together, and the wonderful information that you provide. You guys are great. I love your you tube channel. What a blessing and example you guys are for what a couple who works hard, has the same interests, and share faithfulness can accomplish.
Rhonda Albrecht I know the feelings. We had Buffalo who hated women. Only my dad was able to milk. Once when he was on away on work treat, I tried - she was so difficult, it took me few days for her to allow me to milk her. But after that- no problem. I was only 10 at the time. I miss that life even after 70 yrs.
I really enjoy your content guys! And that t-shirt of "Plot Twist, He Lives" is awesome. I really do look forward to your videos, God bless, and stay safe always. Best wishes to you both.
Mom used to use a demitasse spoon to skim out of the milk bottles the milkman brought. Used only for whipped cream for strawberry shortcake. This was back in the mid 50's
Love the shirt. Happy Easter "And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive."
I must tell you....your shirt was so appropriate for Holy Saturday!!! Hope you don’t mind-I sent the sentiment to loved ones wishing them Easter blessings. Sending you and your family those same blessings. It’s a pleasure following you. Thanks for sharing.
Your farm is beautiful and I have 1 question. “How do you keep everything so organized healthy and clean? Plz make a video or many short ones with how u take care of your gardens, home, meal planning, an interview with your girls and so many more.
LOL got up yesterday, so disappointed that there was no video😩. Didn’t remember that i was off work for Good Friday! I really look forward to These videos. Really love these two. God bless to you and Happy Easter.
Kevin & Sarah if you miss Indian food I have a recipe that you can use all your fresh ingredients from home, except the spices, ginger & rice. This is such an easy recipe. I have made it for friends and coworkers and it is always a hit. Indian Butter Chicken 6 TB Butter 4 LB Chicken cut into 2" Chunks 1 onion, diced 3 Garlic Cloves 1 TB Ginger, grated 1 1/2 cup tomato sauce 3 TB Garam Masala 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cumin, ground 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 cup cream salt & pepper to taste In large skillet cook the chicken in 2 TB of the butter. Set aside. Using another 2 TB butter cook the onion until soft. Ad the garlic, garam masala, ginger, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne. Stir to combine and cook about 45 seconds. Add the tomato sauce and the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cram. Bring it back to a simmer and add the chicken. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Keep heat low. Stir in the remaining 2 TB butter and season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve over rice.
Sarah try dehydrating/freezedrying your schriracha before you put it on the cheese..then do the tablespoon of dried .. I dehydrate mine to powder and it keep the vinegar taste
Why fear the judgements of the world. The only judgement that matters in the end is God's. God bless Kevin and Sarah for their faith and strength in God.
Our sweet Jersey girls, Honey Bee and Fiona are truly a gift from above. They raise three calves between them, sharing the job with not one complaint .They also provide us with ample milk and some to share with family and friends. The cutest, sweetest, and most efficient milk factory you can imagine. If this isn’t enough, they are happy to spend time with our grandkids. What a simple joy. By the way, Sarah, I love your shirt. As always, great videos!
Tillimook is great! I took my kids there too! We got to try a 25 year old cheese (adults only). Nothing compares to it! I need a cave or root cellar so I can age my own white cheddar too! If you ever get a chance to try cheddar aged for 25+ years, absolutely try it! It's expensive because the care it needs, but it's so worth treating yourself!
I make this cheese (queso fresco) a lot. I have discovered putting the milk into my instant pot and putting the yogurt setting to boil you don’t have to babysit it. It doesn’t burn and it comes pretty close to the temperature you need. Then just finish the process with the vinegar.
I think activities like this is a time for opportunity to be thankful and know we are blessed. (I don't have a cow so in my case my activities are different, lol)
I love you guys. You encourage me, even at 57, to do more in the way of making our own food. If only I had started 20 years ago before my disabilities became an obstacle. With that said we have a garden and 4 hens and we have a FD on lay away. I do canning but fd does seem like it will do most of our long-term storing. I imagine as seniors it'll be nice to still have the ability to enjoy my cooking without all the work.
So clever! As if I didn’t yearn to have a Jersey milk cow already! I think another great flavor will be using fresh herbs from the garden=garlic with basil, maybe?
LOVE your T-shirt!!! I was raised on a farm, but my hubby will not even touch a shovel much less a stove. How truly blessed you both are for finding each other. May God watch over you, your homestead and your family.
I absolutely love your videos! Lots of great information and love your witnessing too. My great uncle was a pastor and used to tell us all the time to “witness always and only if necessary use words”. You both practice that perfectly. I’ve always tried to live simply and we just recently started raising chickens. I’m really enjoying them and looking forward to having their fresh eggs. I currently get fresh eggs from a friend. Looking for chicken info is how I found your videos. I’m thankful that I did.
I'm from Wisconsin, so you know how much I love cheese curds. This is a great idea. Imagine how many flavors of this that you could make. You could even do snack mixes of different flavors together. How cool!
I love this .. I too enjoy the process. I think it has been lost with our microwave culture. I want to make my own cheese and butter .. I am pressing in and would appreciate you all to pray for me. My name is Joyce. I am 60 today .. and I am ready to just be able to enjoy my last days ... on a homestead with my chickens and pigs and a jersey cow ... not there yet .. praying for it to be this year ... in Jesus name .. amen .. this was a blessing thanks you guys
Electric milking machines are so worth the money. I was milking 9 cows by hand when my parents bought one. It made my life so much easier as I did the night milking by myself.
I just love the two of you, the excitement level is contagious. The wife and I live in a small town but still in a neighborhood and we are planning on selling this house when our daughter graduates and buying some property so we can do the homestead life. We already have chickens, bees and a small garden but we are wanting more self-reliance from society. Keep the videos coming we are learning so much from your experience.
I keep trying to talk my husband into a milk cow, but I think the best I will get is goats. lol Thanks for another awesome video. We have been watching y'all since before we moved back from Korea in August 2020. You and several other homestead channels inspired us to start out own channel and we are having so much fun with it. Thank you! :)
Suggestions: Try mixing the cumin, curry powder together & add a wee bit of turmeric & onion. I was raised in India & thus learned from the originals how to make curry. Not really that hard. Curry powder, cumin & turmeric are staple spices in curry. How about some garlic & onions in with the oregano.
We just got our HR freeze drier...AND we're getting our first milk cow! Can't wait to try this recipe. I'll definitely be making the buffalo sauce variety!! :D Thank you SO MUCH for your constant inspiration
I was reading an article about freeze-drying, & it said that vinegar & other acids tend to evaporate along with the water. One way to restore the acid lost from the sriracha might be to dust the dried pieces with powdered citric acid.
Looks amazing! It would be really great blended up & sprinkled on popcorn, homemade corn or potato chips, or home fries. You could even use it in rice meals. Thank you for the idea. I'll be getting my large harvest right next month. 😊
GOOD MORNING SARAH AND KEVIN LOVE TO SEE YOUR COW AND MILKING ROSE IS SO ENJOYABLE SHE IS DOING SO GOOD. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Great idea! I'm sure you're thinking of other flavors, I would freeze dry some tomato juice to make a powder & use that as well, dry ranch mix, garlic & herbs, etc... I think you're going to have a great time trying new flavors.
Hi! Thanks!!!Great ideas!!! About the cheese, if you add the juice of 1 lemon and leave the milk in the fridge, en the morning, just use a t-shirt to separate add salt and you have cream cheese!!!About the whey, the one without salt, I use it for baking protein bars. The one with salt, I use it to cook my spaghetti!!! I am ordering my freeze drier!!!!! You guys convinced me!!!!
Thank you for all your inspiration given and learned. Bless you and your family in these days as we gladly enjoy God's gift of life to the receivers... we love you.
One of my favorite flavorings for cheese is tomato basil. Tomato powder is perfect for that...I dehydrate my tomatoes to make the powder. Still no freeze dryer here to try this crunchy cheesy goodness 😢
Thanks for sharing. I was reading the comments thinking can you use a dehydrator if you don't have a freeze dry system? At what temperature and how long does it take to dehydrate the cheese? I'm fairly new to dehydrating.
I'm sorry for the confusion. I have not dehydrated cheese. I was speaking about dehydrating tomatoes for the tomato powder USED in the cheese. I will edit to fix the confusion.
HI, Just came across you're channel by accident. When I was a kid my mom use to make dulce de leche with the old milk. It's sweet. You should try making it to see if you like it. It's a Cuban dessert. Thanks for the great video.❤✌
My 7 year old granddaughter just watched your video with me and we learned so much She is most anxious for us to try making butter and cheese. I have enjoyed watching each adventure on your homestead and look forward to the next.
“You don’t even need a cow” Kevin says! 😜🤣🤣🤣 Thanks goodness because we aren’t quite there yet. We need your recipes for snack foods like potato chips! And other kid friendly snacks (with or without freeze drying) PLEASE! Pickle cheese is a necessity! Make pickle powder in the freeze dryer then make the pickle flavored cheese! Ranch would also be a great flavor.
Very happy to hear that you love Indian food. You all are invited to have Indian food at our home when you plan to visit India in future. Enjoyed the flavoured cheese video. Thank you. 😊
I really enjoy your videos! I really admire what you have done in building your homestead. I cannot homestead myself, but I'm always learning something and I especially enjoy watching the animals. God bless you!
I use fresh lemons instead of vinegar, and I season the cheese in the pot. Try using Italian seasoning with garlic salt. I just add the salt to the cheese while it in the pot. My favorite way to use the cheese is to spread it on some Italian bread and top it off with diced tomatoes.
You mentioned using this as a salad topper. I bet The oregano would be delicious on a salad and (if I had a freeze dryer) I think I would do a garlic version for salads. I am a single person, so the small size freeze dryer would probably work well for me.
great idea to freeze dry. Mom and I make cheese and we typically use dill and chives in one, homemade onion powder and garlic in one , honey and cinimmon, and one with onion soup mix, have also done them with powder ranch mix. all of which are good.
We love your shirt!! You are planting a seed for thousands of people to chose Jesus as their Lord and Savior to forgive them and live in Heaven for all eternity with JESUS.
Religion is like a pe nis. It’s a fine thing to have and take pride in but the second you whip it out and start talking about it to people who didn’t ask you’ve crossed a line. Extra points for the people who shove it down the throats of strangers. Cheers.
Hi Sarah&Kevin, you have filled me with so much knowledge on homesteading+ how to video's. Always looking for more input, I "Thank You!" "So Very Much!" 😊🍯🍞🍳🌱
As a home bread baker for over 50 years I've experimented with lots of different things in my bread. I found one thing that I used that allowed me to cut almost all the sugar from my bread and add nutrients at the same time. That ingredient was powdered whey. While whey isn't necessarily sweet, something in it just made the bread sweeter so I could cut the sugar down to 1 tablespoon. If I had your setup, I'd try freeze drying the salted whey you're tossing and grind or blend it to a powder then use it in my bread and other recipes. I'd also cut the salt down in my bread a bit since your whey is salted. I used 1/4-1/3 cup of dry whey per 3-loaf batch. I also use a teaspoon or two in my cream based sauces, smoothies, some baked goods, cream soups and casseroles. Whey is full of protein, B vitamins, essential amino acids, macronutrients and more. Just an idea.
If you don't have a freeze dryer and you just want to make the cheese, do you just try to make the cheese in a ball and then refrigerate? Thanks! and love your videos!
Yes, it works beautifully that way and kind of tastes like Boursin cheese from the store. My flavor mine with granulated garlic and basil and it's delicious on crackers.
Hey guys we ordered our Harvest Freeze Dryer Feb 24th. It arrives This coming Tuesday 4-5-2021. Only 5 weeks of waiting. Mitchell Meyer from Harvest Right really helped. Call him. Cannot wait for it to get here.

Hey guys! I just had a thought when Sara said she wished the sirracha flavored cheese had a slightly more vinegary taste. Have you ever freeze dried pickles yet? When you get them dry, grind them up into a powder then add your "pucker powder" to whatever you want to have that vinegary taste. A light sprinkle of that to the sirracha would put it over the moon! Let us know if you decide to try it. I use my pucker powder for all kinds of things from salads to dips and even in my version of German potato salad. It's a wonderful seasoning and so versatile.
Great idea...I’m sure Sara will love it
Brilliant idea!! I will be freeze drying pickles before I make my cheese curds.
Great video, but I have to say the most impressive part...was the pouring of the fresh milk from a 5 gallon bucket into the jars without spilling a drop. Now that’s impressive 😊😉
I actually thought the same thing. My first thought was, “oh I’d so have that all over the counter.” Lol Great job
Yeah she’d done that a time or 2 before lol
You are so right! I even said out loud, "Use a Stainless Steel funnel!" LOL!
Same!
@@dkaysette hahaha ... I was thinking a mason jar funnel but I too said it out loud.
We had a “milk” refrigerator when we had a milk cow when I was kid. My mom used crocks that were about 6” inches deep that she poured the fresh milk in. She placed a dinner plate on top and stacked them in fridge. Because the crocks were essentially bowls, it was super easy to skim off the cream (my job). Mom churned once a week to make butter and butter milk with a large floor churn with a “dasher” made of oak that my dad made. I wish she hadn’t sold it.
We had a Jersey when I was a child ... my hands could never get the milking down right and no milking machine for us. My mom milked daily and my job was to skim cream and set the churn every night to churn butter using my grandmother’s crock churn with a cypress wood dasher and churn butter the next morning before school.
And that was the good old days
Today you can "churn" butter in in a blender or food processor. I'll bet there are a lot of memories attached to doing that every day!
We had Buffalo. Very rich thick milk. we drank raw milk. At the time did not have fridge or even electricity in the village We boiled the milk three times. made yogurt/ butter, butter milk. Ghee. I loved thick cream after boiling and on cooling floating in pan. Rice with that thick cream- just yum yum -

@Vijay how do you use ghee?
@@debbie2663 I am keeping your post, I know interesting recipe of Cheese curry melt in mouth when I get time I will post it for you.
Who else watched the whole thing knowing full well you’ll never do this? 😅 I love your videos Living Traditions! 🥰
I'm just at the beginning, but since I don't have a whole lot of milk, chances are I will not make it😁 I'm going to try camembert first!
I did

When my kids were young, we would take them to a cheese factory in Oregon. The kids loved what they called squeaky cheese.

In Wisconsin, Ellsworth Creamer is the home of the squeakiest cheese curds!
IMy kids loved it, too! Used to get our curds at The Bandon Cheese Factory, down by Coos Bay, on the southern Oregon coast!
I make this cheese (queso fresco) a lot. I have discovered putting the milk into my instant pot and putting the yogurt setting to boil you don’t have to babysit it. It doesn’t burn and it comes pretty close to the temperature you need. Then just finish the process with the vinegar.

I am 60 today .. and I am ready to just be able to enjoy my last days ... on a homestead with my chickens and pigs and a jersey cow ... not there yet .. praying for it to be this year ... in Jesus name .. amen .. this was a blessing thanks you guys
LOVE the Plot Twist shirt!
PRAISE GOD, He has risen!
Thanks for the uplifting tee shirt. He does live! In me! And my family and friends. I needed that!
Electric milking machines are so worth the money. I was milking 9 cows by hand when my parents bought one. It made my life so much easier as I did the night milking by myself.
I just love the two of you, the excitement level is contagious. The wife and I live in a small town but still in a neighborhood and we are planning on selling this house when our daughter graduates and buying some property so we can do the homestead life. We already have chickens, bees and a small garden but we are wanting more self-reliance from society. Keep the videos coming we are learning so much from your experience.
I keep trying to talk my husband into a milk cow, but I think the best I will get is goats. lol Thanks for another awesome video. We have been watching y'all since before we moved back from Korea in August 2020. You and several other homestead channels inspired us to start out own channel and we are having so much fun with it. Thank you! :)
I'd go for a gentle Jersey over any goat!
I appreciated how gentle she was with the cow.
Suggestions: Try mixing the cumin, curry powder together & add a wee bit of turmeric & onion. I was raised in India & thus learned from the originals how to make curry. Not really that hard. Curry powder, cumin & turmeric are staple spices in curry. How about some garlic & onions in with the oregano.
Loving the message printed on your yellow T-shirt, Sarah. 💜💛💙
We just got our HR freeze drier...AND we're getting our first milk cow! Can't wait to try this recipe. I'll definitely be making the buffalo sauce variety!! :D Thank you SO MUCH for your constant inspiration
I was reading an article about freeze-drying, & it said that vinegar & other acids tend to evaporate along with the water. One way to restore the acid lost from the sriracha might be to dust the dried pieces with powdered citric acid.
I could hear how crispy the cheese curds were! Great idea!
Love it! 28:39, one blissful Jersey cow girl. God is good, I sing his praise. Happy Easter.
Looks amazing! It would be really great blended up & sprinkled on popcorn, homemade corn or potato chips, or home fries. You could even use it in rice meals. Thank you for the idea. I'll be getting my large harvest right next month. 😊
for a cream separator use can use and iced tea jug with a water spout on the bottom. Fill and drain off the milk. bless you and the family.
Love the lady's t-shirt.
GOOD MORNING SARAH AND KEVIN LOVE TO SEE YOUR COW AND MILKING ROSE IS SO ENJOYABLE SHE IS DOING SO GOOD. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Put the cream on your breakfast cereal. It’s fantastic!!
Great idea! I'm sure you're thinking of other flavors, I would freeze dry some tomato juice to make a powder & use that as well, dry ranch mix, garlic & herbs, etc... I think you're going to have a great time trying new flavors.
Easter Blessings to Youz and Yours from MN
Hi! Thanks!!!Great ideas!!! About the cheese, if you add the juice of 1 lemon and leave the milk in the fridge, en the morning, just use a t-shirt to separate add salt and you have cream cheese!!!About the whey, the one without salt, I use it for baking protein bars. The one with salt, I use it to cook my spaghetti!!! I am ordering my freeze drier!!!!! You guys convinced me!!!!
Be careful, because you’ll end up having a second jersey milk cow just for your treats!😂
I think they're keeping the new calf for more milk.
I think they are already working on that
LOL! I could see that happening!
I don't think that's such a bad problem to have 😅🤣
Thank you for all your inspiration given and learned. Bless you and your family in these days as we gladly enjoy God's gift of life to the receivers... we love you.
I just love you both! Down to earth! God bless! Also Happy Easter!
So amazing! I can not wait to do this. Great job you two, you are so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing with us all. God Bless.
Love the shirts she has had on
Sounds like a good snacks
Sarah has the link to Elly & Grace shirts with a 10%off code.
Yes, I loved the messages on her T-shirts today. 💞
I can't believe you poured the milk out of that big bucket and didn't make a mess. Good job!!!! Love your videos.
One of my favorite flavorings for cheese is tomato basil. Tomato powder is perfect for that...I dehydrate my tomatoes to make the powder. Still no freeze dryer here to try this crunchy cheesy goodness 😢
Ty for mentioning dehydrating.
Yum!
Please tell me the temp you use on dehydrating
Thanks for sharing.
I was reading the comments thinking can you use a dehydrator if you don't have a freeze dry system? At what temperature and how long does it take to dehydrate the cheese? I'm fairly new to dehydrating.
I'm sorry for the confusion. I have not dehydrated cheese. I was speaking about dehydrating tomatoes for the tomato powder USED in the cheese. I will edit to fix the confusion.
My grandmother always ladled her cream. I saw her do this many times. I always loved when she made whipped cream.
My mouth was watering watching you make the cheese. Looks and sounds delicious.
Hi Sarah, there is another methodology to remove the cream, it is called a sipping straw ! Works very well !😎
Mix up some ranch dressing spices . And a sweet treat , honey . The possibility’s are endless . That’s great !
Oh I like the idea of honey
Ranch Dressing powder sounds awesome
No matter how long I watch, I always feel like I am in class. Amazing channel.
HI, Just came across you're channel by accident. When I was a kid my mom use to make dulce de leche with the old milk. It's sweet. You should try making it to see if you like it. It's a Cuban dessert. Thanks for the great video.❤✌
My 7 year old granddaughter just watched your video with me and we learned so much She is most anxious for us to try making butter and cheese. I have enjoyed watching each adventure on your homestead and look forward to the next.
“You don’t even need a cow” Kevin says! 😜🤣🤣🤣 Thanks goodness because we aren’t quite there yet. We need your recipes for snack foods like potato chips! And other kid friendly snacks (with or without freeze drying) PLEASE! Pickle cheese is a necessity! Make pickle powder in the freeze dryer then make the pickle flavored cheese! Ranch would also be a great flavor.
Love your pull-over & he definitely lives. Thank goodness.
Love that "plot twist". God bless.
Happy Easter. Love how you tend and treat your animals.
Very happy to hear that you love Indian food.
You all are invited to have Indian food at our home when you plan to visit India in future.
Enjoyed the flavoured cheese video.
Thank you. 😊
I live in bc Canada and just love Indian food
The smell of good curry always makes me feel good
How sweet! That would be a very special treat for sure.
I really enjoy your videos! I really admire what you have done in building your homestead. I cannot homestead myself, but I'm always learning something and I especially enjoy watching the animals. God bless you!
Love Sarah's shirts. I wonder if there is a way to do something similar without a freeze dryer.
I wanted to know the same thing
I use fresh lemons instead of vinegar, and I season the cheese in the pot. Try using Italian seasoning with garlic salt. I just add the salt to the cheese while it in the pot. My favorite way to use the cheese is to spread it on some Italian bread and top it off with diced tomatoes.
The title got me, I was just about to stand up and get outside to do my chores but this title... It got me. lol
You mentioned using this as a salad topper. I bet The oregano would be delicious on a salad and (if I had a freeze dryer) I think I would do a garlic version for salads. I am a single person, so the small size freeze dryer would probably work well for me.
HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!
HalleluYah! Praise Jesus Christ on high!
great idea to freeze dry. Mom and I make cheese and we typically use dill and chives in one, homemade onion powder and garlic in one , honey and cinimmon, and one with onion soup mix, have also done them with powder ranch mix. all of which are good.
We love your shirt!! You are planting a seed for thousands of people to chose Jesus as their Lord and Savior to forgive them and live in Heaven for all eternity with JESUS.
Amen
Religion is like a pe nis. It’s a fine thing to have and take pride in but the second you whip it out and start talking about it to people who didn’t ask you’ve crossed a line. Extra points for the people who shove it down the throats of strangers. Cheers.
@@kathrynwitte3398 As a well known comedian would quip: "I don't care who ya are. Now that's funny!" (Not to mention, true...)
I love watching you guys, you really work well together! I've learned so much from you.
You t-shirt is perfect "He Lives" Amen PRAISE God
Hi Sarah&Kevin, you have filled me with so much knowledge on homesteading+ how to video's. Always looking for more input, I "Thank You!" "So Very Much!" 😊🍯🍞🍳🌱
You've peaked my interest in making cheese snacks.
As a home bread baker for over 50 years I've experimented with lots of different things in my bread. I found one thing that I used that allowed me to cut almost all the sugar from my bread and add nutrients at the same time. That ingredient was powdered whey. While whey isn't necessarily sweet, something in it just made the bread sweeter so I could cut the sugar down to 1 tablespoon.
If I had your setup, I'd try freeze drying the salted whey you're tossing and grind or blend it to a powder then use it in my bread and other recipes. I'd also cut the salt down in my bread a bit since your whey is salted. I used 1/4-1/3 cup of dry whey per 3-loaf batch. I also use a teaspoon or two in my cream based sauces, smoothies, some baked goods, cream soups and casseroles. Whey is full of protein, B vitamins, essential amino acids, macronutrients and more. Just an idea.
If you don't have a freeze dryer and you just want to make the cheese, do you just try to make the cheese in a ball and then refrigerate? Thanks! and love your videos!
Yes, it works beautifully that way and kind of tastes like Boursin cheese from the store. My flavor mine with granulated garlic and basil and it's delicious on crackers.
ahhhhhhhhh Cooking! Thank you so much! God bless all your family. xxxx
