We are desperately trying to finish home school up for the year. We will have a little that we do all summer, but hoping to wrap most of it up next week! When my older kids were school age I always managed to finish up on time and take the summer off. It seems ever since my mom's health failed, and she passed away, that we have never been able to have a normal summer break. My goal is to get the boys caught up this summer and next year to stay on track!
We introduced "Baby L" to smoothies today! I made one with goat milk, kale, banana, carrot, and pineapple. He screamed when his cup was empty! I guess it is good that he likes them since he will be seeing more of them! :)
This sweet fellow came running to the edge of our property when he saw me coming home from my run this morning.
When you have an abundance of goat milk...… you make ice cream!
Isn't this little freezer adorable!? We had one that was way overpriced from Ace Hardware. It seemed to take forever to freeze, and it gave up the ghost on Mother's Day. I ordered this little freezer off of Amazon and it was here the next day! It is only a gallon but it made it in thirty minutes! I told the kids I will be making lots of ice cream this summer! It is better for them and we have so much milk!
My recipe is super simple! My mom used to make home made ice cream and she put raw egg in it. When I was pregnant with McKenzie she stopped putting the egg in it and never did again. (I wouldn't have a problem with putting our farm eggs in it, but it really doesn't need it.) All I do is mix a gallon of goat milk with two cans of sweetened condensed milk, 2-3 tsp vanilla, and 2-3 cups of sugar. (I usually cut it back to two cups.) Super easy and doesn't have the garbage that most store bought ice cream has!
~Until next time....
