Making homemade butter, it is this easy!

Really it is that simple. It does take some time, but it's so worth it!! Homemade butter is like homemade bread, once you start making it, you can't stop!!!






I have done this with both methods, these are the videos I used to learn how to make butter. I use my strainer with cheesecloth inside, then I rinse and use the cheese cloth to help squeeze the buttermilk out. I like the food processor method better, but when you go and break it, well you need an alternative!!! {no I didn't break it making butter, I broke it grating cheese, if you can believe it!!} Of course I won't mention I also broke one of my blenders!! {again, not making butter, blending a smoothie. I think the A who last washed dishes didn't attach it correctly, and I didn't check. I always check, except that one time.} Yeah I know, honestly that is what I get for trying to purchase the cheapest kitchen tools, they seriously don't last. Anyone have any suggestions on a good food processor or blender??
I have a Bosch, LOVE it, and it's about the only thing that has lasted through the years, of feeding a houseful. I hated the plastic junky blender attachments for the Bosch. I broke one of those a few years back too. Maybe it's me, I don't know. I looked at the food processor for the Bosch, but I am a bit scared of it, considering my experience with the blender.

The next to do, I believe will be yogurt. We eat tons of yogurt. I only buy the all natural, no growth hormones, and no sugar kinds. So that ton can cost a pretty penny. Anyone know of some good videos or tutorials to learn this skill?? I have read a bit about it, looks simple enough.

Really any comments on food processors or blenders?? I would love to hear from you!

  1. I really like the food slicer/dicer attachment for our Bosch. We have a kitchen-aide blender with a glass pitcher, it works great for smoothies.

Simple Morning Time Geography, for the whole family.....

In our Morning Time we will be reading some fun and educational picture books to begin our family geography lessons. Yes I'm just starting this now, in March.... sometimes that happens. We've been studying geography in both our Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, and also our Mystery of History Lessons, so I don't actually feel bad about this! First up, for our World Geography.  I decided to start with a general world geography book. I chose  Somewhere in the World Right Now by Stacey Schuett.  This book is alot of fun. It discusses different geographical areas, showing some amazing pictures. It mostly talks about the time zones and international date line. I thought that would be a nice introduction, and something we haven't really discussed a lot. We started our week off with this beauty, on Monday. After we finished our morning time, and headed to our school room. You see, we meet on our couches, in our family room for a lot ...
