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!!!

What kind of people have our puppies?  People that send us pictures, cards, and call us about their dogs!  We know where every puppy ends up and we take them back if the owner is unable to care for them.  WE even board them if the owner has to leave town.  Nothing but the best for our little friends.  Of course we breed very, very, very, rarely too.

The litter from last year out of Hajji Baba and Mariah (aka Freckles) has hit their first birthday.  Here is a picture of one of the celebrants in their birthday suit and a hat! 

Here is our birthday cake recipe for dogs:

Cake:

1 pound ground meat

1 4oz container of Fromage Blanc Barn Goddess Goat Cheese

2 all natural Chile Acres eggs

1 tsp garlic powder

Mix together and bake in a small round cake pan for an hour then cool.

Frosting:

1 4oz package of Barn Goddess Plain Goat Cheese

3 tablespoons ketchup

Whip together until smooth and spread over cooled cake.  Don’t set it on the table until all of the dogs have on their party hats or someone may sneak in and grab a quick bite.  Salukis are notorius sneak thieves!

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!

Yup!  Sounds very weird and unhealthy indeed.  This is a recipe in honor of the upcoming County Fair and all of the fried food lovers out there.  Also, it was a personal challenge when a friend dared me to try doing this! If you can put a twinkie on  a stick…Tastes great if eaten in moderation (the cheese–not the twinkie)…

Ingredients:

4 ounces of Barn Goddess Goat Cheese Feta

1/4 cup of flour

1 pinch of cayenne chili powder

1 pinch of salt

1 bottle of dark beer ( I like a beer you can barely see through)

Oil for deep frying

Sticks/skewers

Procedure:

Drain and pat the feta with papertowels

mix the dry ingredients and then slowly add a little of the beer at a time until you have a batter similiar to muffin dough or tempura batter

When the oil is very hot–test by dropping a little batter in the oil and it is hot enough if the batter floats up to the top quickly–dunk the cheese in the batter and then put the stick through it

Using the stick as a handle submerge the cheese in the oil until the batter is golden brown ( a minute or so)

Set on a paper towel and repeat until all the cheese is fried.

Enjoy your cheesy treats with the rest of the beer!  It is not good to waste the rest of the beer.  Just ask Bubbles!

Susan came by the market and offered us this recipe using our French Imported Herb Fromage.  Thanks Susan!

Add 4 tablespoons of French Herb Fromage to your mashed potatoes and whip.  Susan says she uses only potatoes, that are peeled and boiled, sea salt, and a little soy or almond milk to make the mashed potatoes.

Yummy and quick!
