Feta Cheese

Ohhhh I'm in trouble now!!! I introduced a new homemade cheese to our house, and DH LOVES it! *giggle*

Since the last two cheese recipes I've tried that I found on a blog from a lady that chats in one of the cow boards was so yummy, I finally got around to trying her Feta Cheese recipe this weekend. Usually Feta is made from Goats milk, but since most of our milk is Cows...that's what I used. The goats milk would probably make it tangier, but it's pretty good from cows milk to. :)

This recipe is yet another winner and before it was even finished my DH was tasting it and pronounced it the best cheese I've made yet! LOL I can't say I agree...cause I used to much salt this time around on it, but I'm sure if I manage to get the right amount the next time I will think it's wonderful too...cause under all that salt I could tell it was really good.

I'm loving having a little more raw milk now that Daisy had her baby, so I can try new cheeses, and still keep making the old favorites. This also keeps good snacks around that won't up DH's blood sugar, which is always a good thing. :) Course some of the cheese is giving me fits now and then, but I'll figure out what changed eventually...or figure out how to change to accommodate whatever changed. (you confused now? I almost am after typing that last sentence! *giggle*)

A friend told me she loves Feta on Salad with a Greek dressing, so I'll have to try that sometime (cause I really like cheese on salad too), and I read about putting it on pizza...which naturally I'll have to try too, since we are big on homemade pizza here now that we have homemade cheese. Those are the only two idea's I've come up with so far, on how to use it...other than just plain eating it, which is probably going to be the biggest way it disappears...so if anyone has some other ones let me know!!! :)

I've got to get some beets canned this week (I think) so hopefully I can get to that tomorrow...if not then Tuesday. I also have to finish the soap project I started last week by grating up one of the bricks and putting it in a fresh batch of natural colored soap...and also cutting all of them into bars. There is of course the usual things like processing milk (into butter and cheese) making meals, cleaning and anything else that comes up...so it could be another busy week!

I have GOT to get some scrapping done too, because both Dusty Bear and Blushbutter have a new girly kit out, both of which would probably work perfectly with some of our nieces photos! :) Blushbutter's just came out today I saw...I just haven't had time to do anything but take a quick look at it and drool. LOL I've got to get to my CT duties, so I can have fun with them!!! :)

Dusty Bear's kit has been out for a little while, but if you missed it you can find it here for the elements and here for the papers...and Blushbutter's new kit is here! See if you can beat me to them! *giggle*

Have a great week!! :)
