In reply to Diana. You certainly could. I would add the chocolate chips or any other add-in at the same time as the sourdough starter.

This was SO delicious!! I subbed coconut sugar for the honey and I only fermented for about 6 hours. Most of that time on my oven proof setting (95*). Beautiful texture!

Comment on Raw Milk Greek Yogurt – in the Instant Pot by Maria

In reply to Lacey. If your powdered yogurt starter is still good (not expired), I would just add that in to your milk and stir it in well with a whisk. You then would not need the Greek Yogurt as a starter anymore since you have the powdered starter on hand.

Comment on Alternatives to Diapering Your Baby by Honey

Absolutely, there’s a growing recognition that disposable diapers are not the only option for parents, and exploring alternatives can be both environmentally conscious and financially beneficial. Cloth diapers, as you’ve mentioned, are a popular alternative, offering eco-friendly options with modern designs that simplify the process. Additionally, some parents are exploring elimination communication, a method where caregivers learn to anticipate and respond to their baby’s elimination needs, reducing the reliance on diapers altogether. Biodegradable or compostable diapers are another option for those seeking a balance between convenience and sustainability. While there may be a learning curve associated with these alternatives, the benefits, such as reduced environmental impact and potential cost savings, often outweigh the initial challenges. It’s encouraging to see a shift in perspectives and a willingness among parents to explore diverse diapering methods that align with their values and lifestyle.

In reply to Dusty. Hi! What would I change if I have powdered yogurt starter? Can I just add that in along with Greek yogurt? Thanks!

Comment on Homemade Kombucha: Second Ferment by Maria

In reply to Cindy. You do not have to leave plain kombucha for a second ferment, but I think you can bottle it up and try to create some carbonization. I haven't done that before, we always preferred the fruit flavors. If it did not have much fizz, it may have needed to be left longer. The temperature may have not been warm enough for the length of time you left it for it's second ferment.

In reply to Lila. Its by volume. I never stir the starter prior to use. I just scoop and add to the recipe.

Comment on Simple DIY Pallet Shoe Rack by C. Lee Terrell

I’ve been pulled out of work for health reasons. Since I have a big garage, I thought it would be cool to practice “diy” projects. I built a gun rack and it turned out really cool. I’m now in the middle of the shoe rack and I’m having a blast. It’s coming together beautifully. Thank you for all your help and guidance.
