Homemade Greek Yogurt


Ingredients:

1 gallon of milk –  1%, 2% or whole milk
¼ cup of plain yogurt
Caramel Pumpkin or Cinnamon Apple Spice Seasoning
Fresh Fruit & or Nuts

Instructions: Reserve ¼ cup of milk, set aside. Pour  remainder of gallon of milk into a large pot. Bring the milk to a boil, and then turn off the heat. Let milk cool until the temperature reaches 100 degrees. Remove the film on the top. While that is cooling, mix together ¼ cup of plain yogurt and the reserved ¼ cup milk. When milk reaches 100 degrees, mix in the yogurt/milk mixture. Mix it up gently and thoroughly, cover the pot with a lid. Wrap in a towel, and leave in your oven with the oven light on only. Leave it in oven overnight or 16 hours. After the time is up you magically have yogurt!  If you stop right here and you have regular yogurt, or you can strain it further if you want Greek yogurt. Line a colander with a cheesecloth or flour sack towel. Pour mixture in to start draining it inside the colander. Every few hours either squeeze the towel or use a spoon to stir it to help it to drain faster. After about 6 hours you have nice thick Greek yogurt! Sprinkle on Caramel Pumpkin or Cinnamon Apple Spice Seasoning (www.ilovedip.com) and add fresh fruit and nuts. Enjoy!

Star Wars Storm Trooper Cheese Ball

The Storm Trooper Cheeseball I made for my brother's birthday party. It was easier than I thought it would be to do!
Directions: I mixed two 8 oz. bricks of cream cheese with one package of Glorious Garlic (www.ilovedip.com), then placed it in cling wrap so I could shape it without touching it. I finely grated some mozarella, and covered the outside of the Tropper in the cheese. I sliced a few olives to accent the head, and I was done. Perfect addition to his Star Wars themed party!

EASY SEASONED PRETZELS


In a large Zipper bag mix 3/4 cup oil and 1 package of your favorite Starla's Seasoning. Add 1 pound of pretzels and mix until pretzels are completely coated. Pour the pretzels onto 2 cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, stir occasionally. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
So easy to make and even easier to eat. These work wonderful with the sweet (Caramel Pumpkin, Cinnamon Apple Spice) and also the savory seasonings. You can even make them spicy by using the Habanero, Buffalo Wing Ranch or mango Chipotle Mix. (www.ilovedip.com for the seasonings to make the pretzels)
