Crepes with Raspberries

For breakfast one morning we had crepes filled with goat cheese with raspberry sauce. They turned out delicious.

Jam and Cheese

I made a few jars of apricot jam the other day. I have also been enjoying making easy goat cheese. All you have to do is heat a gallon of milk to 190 degrees and add 1/4 cup vinegar. When it forms curds just strain it through a colander lined with cheesecloth then hang to drain for several hours. It turns out great every time!

Stir-Fry for Dinner

The other evening I made a stir-fry dinner with veggies that all came from our garden. I love cooking with fresh produce from the garden. It makes it so much more fun, and colorful! We had purple string beans, red skinned carrots, striped beets, leafy bak choy, and turnips.

Cosmic purple carrots.

Chioggia beets. Aren't they pretty?

Kitchen Projects

We all had fun in the kitchen while Melissa was here too. One day we made up a batch of raspberry jam and canned it. Another day we made some mozzerella cheese. I have a few more pictures to put on of the jam making but forgot to take any of making cheese.
