How to Make Greek Yogurt in Your Slow Cooker

By 15 Comments

A couple years ago, I discovered the amazing way you can make homemade yogurt in your crock pot. Since then, my slow cooker and I have made dozens upon dozens of batches of homemade yogurt using this simple recipe. We've eaten a lot of homemade yogurt and love it! Recently, we've started eating greek yogurt for the higher protein that it has in it. I enjoy eating Greek yogurt with my homemade granola for breakfast. As if yogurt prices are not high enough, Greek yogurt prices are ridiculous highly! You are easily paying $5 or $6 for a quart of yogurt. With sales on milk, I can make a … Read More...

Cheesy Creamed Corn

By 9 Comments

Many years ago, my mother tried a new recipe from our handy Taste of Home Quick Cooking cookbooks. For those of you fellow Lutherans, you may remember that these cookbooks were a free benefit from AAL for several years. Remember AAL (now Thrivent)? Anyway, as soon as my Mom tried this recipe for cheesy creamed corn from the 1999 cookbook, we all agreed it was a recipe she should make again. Cheesy creamed corn is just what the title says. It's creamed corn that is made with lots of cheese - creamed cheese for richness and a bit of American for cheesiness. I'm not normally a fan of American … Read More...
