Goat Cheese Recipe
Things You'll Need:
- Colander
- Cheesecloth
- Goat milk (1/2 gallon)
- Fresh lemon juice or vinegar
- A large pot
- Ladle
- Salt and pepper to taste and any other spices/herbs
Heat milk in stainless steel (non reactive pot) approx 190 degrees. Remove the milk from heat and allow to sit. Add lemon (or vinegar), stirring until the curds separate from the whey. The mixture should look like clumps of cottage cheese when properly separated.
Line a colander with several layers of the cheesecloth. Ladle curds into a strainer, discarding the whey. Allow curds to cool, squeezing as much moisture out of them as possible. Put curds in a bowl and season with sea salt. You can also add other seasonings of your choice, such as Herbs de Provence or whatever else you desired. Press curds into the bowl to make a block, or wrap in cheesecloth. Place curds in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 days before removing and tasting.

Banana Pudding
I love a good banana pudding.
This actual recipe has a few additions that most people don't include. Cream cheese and condensed milk make this treat fill any void you may have. :)
The Chessmen cookies are certainly a bonus since they stay crunchy!
I found this recipe on www.foodnetwork.com. "Not Yo Momma's Banana Pudding" by Paula Deen
I don't usually go for all the heavy cream and butter she includes in her food but I can't complain in this recipe :)
