So busy! <br /><br />I don't know much about almond milk, but I do know that almonds are super healthy for you, so I'm sure it would be fine. So glad you got the Nourishing Traditions book. Hope you find it very helpful in your healthier eating journey :)Cheesemakin' Mammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654726238107266586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-28167564770614571812011-08-05T10:49:37.338-07:002011-08-05T10:49:37.338-07:00Hi Jackie,

I am not talking about replacing raw milk with it, but just to have it on the side once a while?

Don't even get me started on what I think of that.<br /><br />Kristal,<br />A lot of people who are allergic to cow's milk are fine with raw goat's milk. That is great that you are raising your own source. Goats milk is naturally homogenized. All my cheese recipes on this blog can be used for goat or cow's milk. Goat milk makes the best feta :)Cheesemakin' Mammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654726238107266586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-24300000039294607482011-02-17T21:07:41.668-08:002011-02-17T21:07:41.668-08:00Jackie,

When my mid-wife came for the birth of our second child she made her special potato soup with raw cream. And I felt so bad to my stomach every time I ate it. After the first day, I couldn't eat anymore, my MIL gave me an orange and right away I felt better. I went and had a bowl of soup and instantly was sick again. That is when I realized that it was the cream. Again it has nothing to do with it being raw, just allergies. We now have 2 Nigerian Dwarf goats and will be breding them next year for your milk. I have not tried raw milk, just the cream, but I know goat milk is fine so we will be sticking to that. I am interested is raw recipes for goat milk if you know of any for cheese. I am hoping to make my own yogurt, ice cream and butter.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230938185761250737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-80421561577608587722011-02-17T16:42:25.246-08:002011-02-17T16:42:25.246-08:00We are not allowed to have rawmilk here, but we ca...We are not allowed to have rawmilk here, but we can get non-homogonized.

Something I'm wondering about is where a person gets raw milk in the La Grande area? We're pretty new here and don't know where to find stuff like that. We've been buying organic milk at the store, but I've lately learned that it's all ultrapasteurized and not that great for us. So...any direction you can send us would be great! Thanks again for what you are offering here!

Glad your daughter is benefiting from good raw milk, "liquid gold" is what I call it. <br /><br />Melaniek,<br />I hope you can convince your husband. Maybe you could read him this blog post? Also, when you get that book, "Nourishing Traditions" there is a whole section on raw milk.<br /><br />I'd never heard of that diet and I just looked it up on-line. I really agree with it for the most part, but I think it is unnecessary to eliminate whole grains and raw dairy. My son eats these things and citrus and I see no ill effects. However, as soon as I introduce anything that is processed and not natural, he gets hyper and even sick to him stomach. Artificial ingredients are not his friends!Cheesemakin' Mammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654726238107266586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-45731292712550536152011-02-15T09:49:44.048-08:002011-02-15T09:49:44.048-08:00Jackie, while doing research I stumbled across the...Jackie, while doing research I stumbled across the feingold program. After being disgusted by what they make artificial dyes/flavorings from, I was reading how on the first step of their program they eliminate fruits that contain salicylate. Later in stage two these foods can be re-introduced slowly to gauge reaction to them. Was just wondering what your thoughts on this were?

We were able to watch the farmer milk the cows, and I would trust her milk anywhere. My husband will still not drink it, but the kids and I do. My daughter (almost 3) was pretty frail looking as a baby (not unhealthy, but very thin and small), and has become much more sturdy in the past year. I attribute much of it to a better diet including raw milk.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790268214042052098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-2904598165090382732011-02-15T06:48:21.007-08:002011-02-15T06:48:21.007-08:00I keep slowly presenting the idea of raw milk to m...I keep slowly presenting the idea of raw milk to my hubby but he's still a little (lot) resistant. I'm gonna have to catch him in the right mood because I think raw milk could be super beneficial to us. Heart disease runs in his family so anything we can do to avoid foods that could encourage it would be great. Luckily there is a farm by us where you can "lease" the cow or goat and get up to 3 gallons of your milk per week.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09271687423994095152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-68069777472273002532011-02-15T06:27:22.507-08:002011-02-15T06:27:22.507-08:00I miss my raw milk.
