Hi City Life, A couple of years ago you were kind enough to send me some kefir grains. I just wanted to let you know that they are still going strong and we are really enjoying the milk kefir every day. I have "payed it forward" a few times by giving the grains to others. Hope you are doing...

Ok, I go to yard sales in the summer. Any time I find an old cheap tupperware "flour or sugar canistars" I pick it up. (I only use one at a time, but I keep a couple of spare ones in the basement when they wear out.) It works well for us and it gets stored under my kitchen sink. I haven't had...

I will try to find time this weekend to test it on say either bisquits or even muffins. I have my 3 grandsons over this weekend and they will help me to test and evaluate the results!! Mostly they are like "Mikey" and "will eat anything". Actually, they are good eaters of good homemade food...

That is so creative and handy. I have an old large turkey roaster that has a "steam vent" that I am hope to test this winter. I also have a fireplace grate that I use to slow cook that takes the cooking vessel off the heat and "slow" cooks I hope to use those two items in my attempt to "bake"...

I only have a regular woodstove. I have "redesigned" the top of the stove with a few items so that I can cook at different temps right now, but have not attempted to actually bake, yet. What type of cooking do you do on yours? Love to learn more about it.

I love cooking on my woodstove. Mostly stews, chili and slowcooker stuff, but that's how we eat in the winter. I am up for learning more about it and even trying breads and bisquits as I have heard it is possible. Last year when they came to clean my chimney they gave me a can of spray and...

Thanks for this video. It looks so delicious. I did look up a recipe for it. I might try making it soon.

How do you make butter with kefir grains and cream? I just got my grains and would love to learn how to do it? Please?

I have two. A wooden one that isn't practical to use, gifted to me. The other is the "stone" type that I make guacamole in quite often. I just got the recipe for the Pumpkin Seed pesto and am going to make that in the stone one. I don't know that I am capable of crushing herbs with the mortar...

I agree, start with "water bath" first. Get some good canning books from the library. Remember, follow directions, there isn't much deviating from the process. Too risky. I always make sure I start with a clean area. If you are looking to purchase a water bath canner, I recommend yard...

What do the carrots taste like? Do they taste salty? vinegar? How long can they safely stay in the whey? Last year (fall) I preserved some eggplant in olive oil(after I had let the slices sit in salt for 24hrs) and we love them. I also did cherry tomatoes in vinegar brine, I like them, but...

This thread is so interesting. I am on the lookout for kefir, but haven't had any success yet. I searched Craigs list, our local "free cycle". I found it on Amazon, Has anyone bought it on Amazon? Are they a good source for it? Any other suggestions? I am so excited about getting started. I...

I got my squeezo at a yard sale for $5.00. I love it and it's a very popular item for my daughters to borrow from me. We do applesauce and tomatoes in it. This year I am going to experiment more with it. Look in 2nd hand stores and Salvation Army and yard sales, if you have the time. Good...

Thanks good advice. I'll give it a try. I just wondered if anyone had that experience. :)

I know this thread is old, but I'm searching for more recipes that I can use with my squeezo. I only have the basic screen and was told I need to buy the berry screen to make grape juice? Anyone have any recipes or differenty uses and does anyone know if this is true about having to buy the...
