Without a cream separator, we are having trouble making our goat milk ice cream creamy (think ice milk instead of ice cream). Meg shared how she modified the Nourishing Traditions’ recipe for ice cream, and I’m so thankful for that because of the excellent flavor and color! But what can I say, my husband (bless him) wants creamy not milky. With that in mind, I remembered how Sally took my coconut ice cream and revamped it with avocado for creaminess (and fresh mint for flavor) back in July 2008. So I added an avocado to our ice cream this weekend. It does help. A little. Having straight cream in place of some of the milk would be better. But this is pretty good.
“That’s the best desert EVER!” said my kids, practically in unison, jumping up and down with excitement when I told them our dessert was going to be strawberries and raw goat milk.

My friend Regina made over the traditional oatmeal no-bake cookie recipe to be more healthy. I called her the other day and begged for it — my kids were desperate for a snack and I was short on time. These cookies fit the bill, deliciously!
The friend who made waffles and soap with me the other day gave us a gallon of raw cow’s milk. Something we’ve never had before. Our consumption of it is a test of sorts, for at least Haniya and Jeff, who show milk allergies.
I have become a theoretical believer in the possibility that their allergies [...]
I use flax seed meal and water, whisked together, almost exclusively as an egg substitute. It is the ideal substitute in most baked goods. Now these are normal baked goods, such as muffins, cookies, and cakes. No egg substitute will work successfully in dishes that are egg-dependent, such as quiche or meringue. [...]

A friend gave me a similar recipe last summer. Kids love this applesauce — what I love is that it is easy, raw and nutritious! You will need a Vita-Mix or other such heavy duty blender.

about 4 apples, sweet variety such as Fuji
handful of raw almonds
handful of raisins

pinch nutmeg
