Homemade Yougurt

When Becky and I went to homemaking, they showed us how to make homemade yogurt. They made it look so easy. Anything that is made with sour cream she replaces it with yogurt. Strognaff, Chicken and Ritz, Parmesan Chicken, anything else you make. I though I would pass this along that I found on the Internet. Here is a link how to make yogurt. Click Here

I made these for Katelyn's birthday. I got them off of Bakerella.com
I thought they were good, but rich.

Make a cake according to the box.
Once the cake has cooled, crumble up cake into bowl. Mix in a can of frosting into the cake. Roll into balls and lay onto a wax paper lined pan. Put into fridge to set up. You can dip them into chocolate or white chocolate. Put back into fridge. Yum!

Buttermilk Pancakes

My mom made these pancakes almost every week. I still love taking a bite and as it melts in my mouth; I think of the breakfasts my mother made. We usually had a big breakfast every Saturday morning, the rest of the week was usually hot cereal and toast. The other morning, Brady woke up saying, "Pancakes!" (Which he asks for about once a week.) I just didn't have time to make them that morning so we had a nice big breakfast for dinner.(Which I melted my last nice mixing bowl on the stovetop. AAAAH!)

1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs

Mix all dry ingredients together; then add in eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Hint: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, add 1 T. of lemon juice to enough milk to make a cup. Sit for 5 min. This is pretty much buttermilk.
