Attempt at homemade cheese

I tried to make homemade cheese and it worked pretty good. Maybe after another try or two it will be better. But I do have to say it helped the store baught cheese go farther so that was a plus.

Ready for Halloween


What cute kids, all in their black and orange!

Look how our garden grew!


We had a pretty plentiful garden, both with the vegatables and the snakes-I could have died with these pests!

It worked the first time!

I attempted to make homemade yogurt and it actually worked the first time. I had to change the water it was sitting in the cooler, but it worked I am so excited. It was hard to believe how easy it was. It was made from non instant powdered milk, which is cheaper than milk and instant milk, and I coudln't even taste the powdered milk taste. This is the base also for sour cream, so now I can make my own sour cream too. My next trial will be homemade cheese. wish me luck.

What a Wonderful Weekend

What a great opportunity we had this weekend to listen to General Conference. I really enjoyed listening to the prophet and the leaders of the church. I am so glad to know that we have a living prophet on the earth today to teach us and to guide us. I know that I came away from conference with a stronger testimony, with things I need to work on, with greater understandings, and with a feeling of love and comfort. I love this gospel!
