I too made butter with my grand daughter last week, we used a quart jar and shook it.She didn't like how long it took but was amazed that she actually made butter. I made a coffee cake with the leftover buttermilk.Pancakes and biscuits are very good too.I find that where I live powdered milk is very expensive so what I've been doing is buying 3% milk and diluting it half with water.It tastes much better than buying 1% milk because it still has the milk fat in it,I also freeze half.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-67374866162956028302018-02-12T13:04:57.526-09:002018-02-12T13:04:57.526-09:00I love the monopoly game also, however I got free ...I love the monopoly game also, however I got free coffee pods and we don't drink coffee.

Still, I know it's hard, no matter how easy you make it look:)Hang in there!<br /><br />Once in a while, when I remember, I mix up a quart of powdered milk and put it in a canning jar with a lid. I put that in the fridge, and that reminds me to use it in cooking. Like you, though, I forget a lot. But, when it's mixed, I'm more apt to grab it and use it in a soup, etc. Beckyathomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105835394158145451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-34443886925508049912018-02-11T15:40:57.880-09:002018-02-11T15:40:57.880-09:00I like that Lemonade!

One recipe I have uses 3/4 cup each of water and milk. I just put 1 1/2 cups water in the measuring cup and add 3 T powdered milk as the milk replacement. It definitely saves me from buying milk as often because I bake A LOT. <br /> <br />I also make almond milk to use in smoothies as the replacement for milk. A cup of almonds makes about 6 cups of nut milk and it costs approximately 50 cents for the 6 cups - cheaper than a litre/quart of milk I'd say. The kids also like to use it over their morning oatmeal, or to eat granola as their cold cereal for breakfast. Again, saves $$.<br /><br />Pat, CdaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-88646677530071104232018-02-11T09:32:49.634-09:002018-02-11T09:32:49.634-09:00Rhonda, that is an awesome idea!

As for using powdered milk, it has become a habit now for me. Whenever I cook or bake, and the recipe calls for milk, I immediately get out the powdered milk. You just have to make a conscious effort for a few weeks to help you get into the habit.<br /><br />I have a suggestion on the 4 extra valentines your daughter needs. If she has 4 good friends, she could make special homemade valentines especially for them, using craft supplies you have on hand or created and printed from a free website. I'm sure her friends would appreciate her efforts.Rhonda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00448188064878559345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-8639248401485616142018-02-11T05:33:15.679-09:002018-02-11T05:33:15.679-09:00Prayers for your family members.
