Creamy Salad Dressing
We’re on a quest to find the perfect homemade creamy salad dressing. We’ve enjoyed almost every trial version. I’m not sure I’m done with the recipe, but this will show you where I am so far. And, you know what, I’d love to have your suggestions on how to improve this and make it more tasty!
“Sour Cream” from Chevre
The other day, based on what I read at Fias Co Farm, I tried turning my chevre into “sour cream”. It isn’t true sour cream because it isn’t from the cream. However, the taste is so good and the texture so right that we all swear (not really) it is the best sour cream we’ve ever had.
Kefir Poppy Seed Dressing
It is hard to know whether I should share this dressing or not… because not everybody was crazy about it. As usual, I did like it very much, while everyone else thought it was so-so. See what you can do with it! It came from this recipe, only I used kefir instead of yogurt and green leaf stevia instead of honey. Perhaps I should do it again with honey. I can tell I’m really convincing you to give this a try with all my ho hum comments. 
But I think it has potential – and I really liked it. (Thank you to SueEllen for suggesting it to me!)
Christina’s Perfect Yogurt
When Christina shared her tip for warming milk in the crockpot, she asked for tips on yogurt making appliances. It would appear that she found a way to make perfect yogurt, without having to purchase another appliance. Read her comment technique here. Thank you for sharing your findings, Christina!
Raw Pear Sauce, Raw Apple Sauce, For the Freezer
We are getting a bunch of apples and pears today. They’re coming from our sweet local doctor and her husband, who have an abundance. They called last week to ask if we wanted some. Yes, we do! Jeff is going to pick them up in town today, as he’s there and I’m not.
Of course, we’ll [...]

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.

Chocolate Syrup
Last night we feasted on vanilla ice cream sundaes. This chocolate syrup is amazing, just incredible. Goopy, thick, drizzly, sweet, dark… It includes the healthiest forms of all ingredients, but still is an indulgence! Use it as a glaze, or make chocolate milk by mixing it with nut milk.
