I can't figure out how to quote a prior post (because I'm computer stupid apparently), but thanks for the tips tkeyser
Has anyone had success (or failure) making the butter in a stand mixer? Some of the tutorials online do it that way, but a lot recomend a blender or food processor. Does it really matter?

Also I'm going to make some yogurt today (crockpot style). Any practical tips?

I hate rolling dough but I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch so much that I think I'm actually going to make this!

I'll add something I make every week - mineral broth!

Yup, save in the fridge all your cut ends of carrots, celery, onion skins, potato peels, zuchinni - just nothing like tomatos or cucumber, just harder veggies. At the end of the week I throw it all in a big pot, cover with water, add a few glugs of apple cider vinegar - let cook on really low overnight. The next morning - a rich broth! I sometimes add in some kombu seaweed to really bulk up the minerals.

You can also use stock bones to get a great broth for bone health.

The broth makes any soup, stew or sauce way yummier and richer. You can also use it when cooking grains instead of water for tastier grains. We use it to saute veggies as well.

I realize this hasn't been updated in a while but when I make homemade spreadable butter I put some cold heavy cream, salt, and a marble (yes marble) in a glass jar. Then shake for a few minutes until it gets to the consistency you want it's a great way for kids to help out! I have heard of it being used in classrooms to keep fidgety kids busy. my very hyper son enjoys it!
