Homemade Butter 101

What is french toast with out butter?!

To grace our breakfast this morning my youngest made butter from Twin Brook Creamery. It is, with out a doubt, the most delicious butter I have ever tasted. So creamy and, well, buttery! The color is an enticing golden yellow, courtesy to the purebred Jersey Cows of Twin Brook who are pastured and do not receive hormones to stimulate their growth or milk production!

To make this wonderful butter we poured 1/3 of a pint of whipping cream into a 1 pint canning jar and shook it for about 10 mins. We strained the butter from the butter milk using a piece of cheese cloth.

We are excited to make garlic butter next!

Got Milk?

My family drinks a LOT of milk. We simply love it with dinner, on our cereal, with cookies...the list goes on and on. Considering how much we were drinking it was time to find a healthier and more local source of our dairy bliss.

We stumbled upon fresh milk from Twin Brook Creamery at our local Central Market. This is the real stuff. I thought I loved milk before! This stuff gives a whole new meaning to delicious.

One of the things I love about buying this milk is we reuse the bottles! We paid a small deposit and we receive a cash credit towards our milk purchase when we return them to the store.

My daughter loves to make homemade butter so we picked up a pint of whipping cream and look forward to fresh butter for our morning toast!

P.S. We got some divine looking yogurt from Grace Harbor Farms...review to come!
