Our dairy goats are not only foundational to Goat Milk Stuff, but they are a big part of our family as well.

If you’ve been following this series, you know why sourdough is healthy, how to feed your starter, and how to make sourdough bread. Now it’s time to share what we do when we have too much starter. We make pancakes! I will include our measurements here, but below I’ll put a smaller batch size. First, […]

The children adored it. I looked into purchasing sourdough around here, but couldn’t find a good source. Then I looked into […]

The day she was born, we were at China Garden Buffet […]

Ten hours until I’m ten!” He was really excited because, “I won’t be a single digit anymore!” He blew out the ten candles on his Breakfast Birthday Cake easily. When he started cutting the pieces and lifting […]
