We have had some wonderful feedback over the years but we want to thank Mercedes this week for her compliments on our gluten free goodies.  Mercedes said,”The best biscotti, muffins and brownies I ever had!  Thank you for making something so good and affordable!”  Thanks to you Mercedes for your kind words.

A new chef, April Marshall, used our plain chevre in a recipe for her graduation project.  April said, “I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful cheese…everyone loved it!”  Congratulations to April on her graduation!

How about something easy and exotic for dinner?  This is a real treat and won’t heat up your kitchen much:)

Ingredients:

Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Buckwheat Flour

egg

oil

milk, goat, soy, rice, or almond

baking powder

baking soda

4 oz of Barn Goddess Goat Cheese (Spinach or South Western Delight are our favorites with this)

Procedure:

Mix 1 egg, 1 cup of buckwheat flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking flour, and then slowly add milk until you have a runny pancake batter ( slightly thinner then what you usually make).

In a hot griddle add a tbls. of oil then pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the oil.  Roll the pan to spread the batter thin.  When bubbles appear flip the pancake.  Cook until browned.  Set on a plate and continue until all of the batter is used up.

Spread each pancake with goat cheese and roll up like a crepe. Microwave for 45 sec to one minute to heat the cheese.  Serve with a dollop of sour cream.  Enjoy!!!

Goat Cheese Frosting

Our squash is taking over the earth so we are making zuchinni cake and muffins this week.  Our goat cheese frosting is a twist on the old cream cheese frosting recipe grandma used.  It is also great on sugar cookies and carrot cake.

Ingredients:

40z of plain fresh Barn Goddess Fromage

1 cup powder sugar or 1/4 cup agave nectar

1 tablespoon of vanilla

2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil

Procedure:

Whip on high speed all ingredients except for the powdered sugar or agave.  Add that gradually to the wet ingredients.  If too dry to spread add a drop or two of warm water and if too wet add a little more powdered sugar. 

Spread on your goodies and refrigerate!

Our chilies are beginning to produce after the long winter months.  Under the protection of our big Mesquite tree and near the moisture of our koi pond they stuck out the winter and are producing fruit for us now.  As you can see we have a wide variety of sizes, types, and range of heat.  We have everything from purple to chocolate in color!  These chilies will be featured in Barn Goddess Cheese and also in our new gluten free items under our company Fresh From the Goddess with our good friend and fantastic baker Rowie!  Come warm up and enjoy the health benefits of fresh chili peppers!  They are good sources for vitamin C and have antidepressant qualities too!
