Stormy Days

I rushed home this afternoon when I saw the sky turning dark and stormy.  However, as you can see I didn’t get here in time.

 

 

The sky opened up and soaked the puppies.  They didn’t seem to mind to much especially after I moved them inside and refreshed their food bowls.

They smell better dry but are just as cute wet !

Can’t get much cuter

Goat Cheese Bites

Recipe for Goat Cheese Bites

  • Beech Tree Ranch Goat Cheese
  • One box of premade Fillo Shells
  • Container of blueberries
  • a few tablespoons of sugar
  • a few tablespoons of milk

 

This recipe is based on your level of sweet and how many shells you’d like to fill.

Mix BTR goat cheese with sugar and milk.  Add sugar to taste, use less or more depending  on your personal preference.  Mix enough milk to make the cheese creamy and easy to fill the shells.

Fill fillo shells with creamy mixture and top with blueberries.

Enjoy !

Goat Poem

My nephew wrote this poem for school.  I love how he wrote it about goats.

In the barn, a goat screams on the cold, dusty hay.
Pitch black, the rain clouds pour down on the earth
spring is coming
The mother is about to give birth
Her time has come
The moment is near
The first time mother
blinks in fear.
Laying on her side
here comes the head
gentle hands guide the body
Mother and baby snuggle in bed.

Isn’t it the best !  I think award winning !

Goat cheese instead of cream cheese.

Did you know that you can use goat cheese for many things that call for cream cheese or sour cream !

We put goat cheese on baked potatoes instead of sour cream.  We put them in tacos.

Leave a comment and tell us your favorite non-traditional use for goat cheese.

Fresh salted cheese for sale in Portugal

After touring Portugal, my opinion is, you see fresh and aged cheeses for sale more frequently and with more variety than in the States. You see more cheese plates at restaurants and lots of goat and sheep cheeses.

Strawberry Fields

We have a beautiful strawberry patch growing. The only hard part is to keep the cute little bunnies out. I like rabbits but I don’t want to share our precious strawberries with them. I am ok if they’d like some zucchini.

Goat Cheese Medicine

I was talking to a friend today and learned an interesting fact about goat cheese.   She told me that growing up in her country goat cheese was used as a cold remedy.   As a child she was given goat cheese and honey for a variety of reasons.  Sure enough, when I googled it a bunch of sites recommended goat cheese as a natural remedy.

Who knew…

I would much rather take a spoonful of wholesome, delicious goat cheese (especially Beech Tree Ranch’s) then a spoonful of syrupy chemicals.

Goat Nanny

We had more than a goat nanny this year we found the perfect person to take care of but more importantly love the goats. She cared for 70 plus kids this year and knew each one individually. We are very lucky. Lets hope we didn’t scare her away for 2014.
