That's awesome! As far as the temperature in your home, I have a few suggestions. I usually do one of two things to keep things warm. First, you can place a heating pad underneath the milk, or you can leave it in your oven and simply turn on the light and that will keep it warm enough. Based on personal experience, I'll have to agree with Sally Fallon's book, you definitely need to keep it warm enough to get the best results. I sure hope this helps!Linda Keith Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175614151211457478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318476738418461538.post-72721045157775745242012-01-14T17:27:12.508-05:002012-01-14T17:27:12.508-05:00I am considering making whey from raw goats milk (...I am considering making whey from raw goats milk (i have a cown dairy intolerance). I have a question about temperature. My house is rather cold in the winter as it is only heated by a fireplace. If I keep the fire going all night the temperature ranges from 62F-69F. Do you think this is warm enough to make whey from raw milk? Sally Fallon's book says room temperature and many sites indicate room temp as 72-75 Degrees F.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398683755103900933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318476738418461538.post-30648740134314224992011-12-05T14:59:11.687-05:002011-12-05T14:59:11.687-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318476738418461538.post-15034692406519960282011-11-01T23:22:44.393-04:002011-11-01T23:22:44.393-04:00halal food ..that's our optionhalal food ..that's our optiontatanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236146680675311989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318476738418461538.post-61434847986304157442011-07-06T22:31:06.840-04:002011-07-06T22:31:06.840-04:00I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying my recipes! I ...I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying my recipes! I get so much joy from making and sharing them!<br /><br />Thank you for bringing up such an important point of concern in regard to the origin and safety of shrimp. While shrimp is versatile, delicious, and easy to prepare, it is very important to purchase shrimp that has been responsibly farmed. Irresponsible shrimp farms are often unsanitary and are the number one threat to mangrove forests. Foreign shrimp ponds also discharge polluted water into nearby land and waterways, contaminating agricultural land and drinking water.<br /><br />I am extremely fortunate to have access to a Whole Foods Market in my city (this is one of the only places I’ll purchase shrimp). Whole Foods is committed to selling only responsibly farm raised shrimp. Responsibly raised is important for many reasons including the protection of sensitive ecosystems such as the mangrove forests. Whole Foods shrimp are never fed antibiotics, added growth hormones or poultry/mammalian by-products. I would advise that when buying shrimp from the grocery store to be sure to ask where it came from.<br /><br />Thanks again for your question and, as always, Bon Appétit!Linda Keith Andersonhttp://realfooddaily.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318476738418461538.post-35649519025478255642011-07-05T23:03:13.775-04:002011-07-05T23:03:13.775-04:00Hi, I just found your blog and really like your he...Hi, I just found your blog and really like your healthy, easy recipes.

Everyone reacts to gluten differently; if you feel unwell after eating wheat or grain products, you may be intolerant to gluten. On the other hand, there is no need to shell out extra dough to get gluten-free foods without a diagnosis of celiac disease or gluten intolerance.Linda Keith Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175614151211457478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318476738418461538.post-71380460546999932852011-04-18T23:53:02.754-04:002011-04-18T23:53:02.754-04:00Hi Jeremy,

I've always wondered the same th...Hi Kellyann,<br /><br />I've always wondered the same thing myself and you pose an excellent question. I used to be addicted to diet soda years ago...and I've definitely felt better and dropped a few pounds since I kicked the habit! It took a little getting used to, but I now prefer water with my meals. The only exception I make is if I’m going out to dinner with friends; then I’ll treat myself to a glass of wine (or two) or a cocktail. I figure if I’m going to blow the calories I might as well enjoy it!<br /><br />I did a little research on this topic and came up with some pretty interesting facts…I hope you’ll find this helpful. A fascinating article, "Artificially Sweetened Beverages Cause for Concern", recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), challenges the notion that artificial sweeteners are risk free.<br /><br />The article’s author, David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD, a Harvard professor and Founding Director of the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) clinic at Children’s Hospital, Boston, makes three important points, especially in the context of artificially sweetened drinks:<br /><br />1. Our body gets confused by artificial sweeteners – the dissociation between sweet taste and calorie intake may put the regulatory system that controls hunger and body weight out of sync, thus sabotaging weight loss plans. A study on rodents showed that those fed saccharin actually gained weight compared to rodents fed sucrose.<br /><br />2. We’re “Infantilizing” our taste sense – Artificial sweeteners are a hundredfold sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). By getting ourselves used to so much sweet, normal sweet flavors, of fruit for example, become bland and so do other healthful foods such as grains and vegetables, thus reducing our willingness to consume them and ultimately the quality of our diet.<br /><br />3. Long term effects unclear – while there have been many studies on artificial sweeteners and disease such cancer, very few focused on long term weight gain. A seven year study, (San Antonio Heart Study), showed a relationship between diet drink consumption and obesity, but the causation is not clear. Consumption of artificial sweeteners is growing yearly.

There are some very powerful reasons to drink lots of water every day and it just takes a little practice to form the habit. Until it becomes a habit, we tend to drink lots of soda, fruit juices and other sweetened beverages. As an added bonus, water is one of the best tools for weight loss because it often replaces high-calorie drinks like soda and juice and alcohol with a drink that doesn't have any calories. But it's also a great appetite suppressant, and often when we think we're hungry, we're actually just thirsty! I find it useful to keep a big plastic drinking bottle at my desk and drink from it all day long. When it's empty, I fill it up again, and keep drinking.<br /><br />As always, bon appétit!Linda Keith Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175614151211457478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318476738418461538.post-2594771006090615522011-02-13T14:40:35.988-05:002011-02-13T14:40:35.988-05:00Thanks so much!
