Freezer safe Ball mason jars! Heaven!!!

While on the Ball mason jar site this evening I found that they sell freezer safe jars! I never knew! Game on, baby!

Gotta get some of these!

Check out these really cool toppers to turn mason jars into shakers and pourers (not a word, but you know what I mean).

Homemade yogurt

I learned about making yogurt through Duo Fiberworks cozy tutorial.

Let me tell you, this was the easiest way to make yogurt! I have made some yogurt in the past and it was too much at one shot, too much cleanup, too much energy! This is so danged simple it was fun! Since Renée is currently Lactose intolerant, it states that the 24-hour batch might something she can eat since the cultures have longer to eat away at the lactose. We shall see.
I used Greek plain yogurt since it has 5 cultures in it. That also was a big plus over my previous batches. It made a really thick, sweeter product. Granted, it is still tart plain yogurt.
I bought a case of wide mouth mason jars for this purpose, but have found they work fantastic for leftovers and breaking down my gallon cans of fruit. I want more wide mouth jars now! Getting rid of plastic and moving onto glass.
