" Any ideas on the snack issue? "

Just like someone else mentioned earlier, the grazing that Kenzie

does may not seem like 'the thing to allow' for many/most parents.

Although I won't allow my son to eat whenever, whatever, wherever, I

do give him lots of snacks (= also fruit & yoghurt) and he also asks

for them. In general, he eats every 1 1/2 hour or so.

What happened to the yoghurt? I hope you were not discouraged by the

one time it turned out bad. I'm sure the next time you'll succeed.

Eating some yoghurt in between meals will fill him up a bit.

If you want, I have a step-by-step instruction sheet for the nut

yoghurt making.

I did another batch of yogurt and it turned out nasty tasting but it was ok. I

added some vanilla and cinnamon but it was still bad. He takes a half teaspoon

in a med syringe. I'd love your recipe.

thanks

Wow Penny,

You did it....here's the recipe (it's for NUT yoghurt):

NUT YOGHURT RECIPE

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cup whole, blanched almonds or blanched hazelnuts (filberts)

2 ½ table spoons clear, pasteurized honey

water

yoghurt starter (3-strain by CustomProbiotics)

Step-by-step instructions for making nut yoghurt:

1. Put all things you need on a tea towel on the kitchen table:

blender, a fine sieve, some tea towels, the nuts, honey, two spoons,

water, yoghurt maker + yoghurt container. Get the probiotics out of

the freezer only when you need them.

2. Put nuts into blender

3. Add enough cold water to get a total of 4 cups / 1 litre

4. Add 2 ½ tablespoons of honey

5. Blend for 10 minutes (use a stopwatch)

6. Pour about 1 cup of the nut milk through the fine sieve

NOW take your probiotics out

7. Add 1 baby scoop of probiotics to the milk

8. Stir well, add the rest of the milk, with spoon press out all

liquids

9. Stir well and place container in yoghurt maker

10. Ferment for at least 8 hours.

11. Place in the fridge overnight or at least for 5 hours (overnight

is better)

12. Get a bowl, put the sieve on the bowl, put a cloth in the sieve

13. Pour the yoghurt in the cheesecloth so that it can drip

14. Drip for about an hour or longer if you'd like the yoghurt thicker

15. By pressing the dripped yoghurt further, you can make something

that resembles cheese

The residue is very fine, moist flour. I always put it in a ziplock,

flatten it and freeze it. I use it later on for pancakes or cookies.

The fermentation process takes place at about 105 Fahrenheit. This is

relatively high but within regulations as in BTVC.

As you see, I do NOT cook or heat the milk. If you do, the milk will

separate and the fermentation will not take place.

This nut yoghurt is a nice and safe alternative when you cannot

tolerate goat's or cow's yoghurt (yet). Go for it!

Hi Penny,

Is that goat yogurt that's " nasty " ? Some find if they use different

sources of goat's milk it tastes much better - not so goat-y.

Hi Penny, I was just wondering how long you dripped it? The longer I

drip mine, the better it tastes - I lose more volume, but that's ok,

because it is so yummy! I love it with honey and vanilla, but

likes it best blended with pineapple juice and water.
