I wanted to make yogurt for a couple of years before I actually got brave enough to try it. I even bought an InstantPot with just the right features. It took a few fails before I finally mastered it. However, those fails actually work great as buttermilk! I just freeze it in muffin cups so […]
I’ve mentioned before that my family has a few different dietary needs. With a family of 5 and at least 3 different diets to be met it can be tricky to say the least! I’ve spent a lot of time over the years trying to make the right adjustments and just piecing things together on
