Our Frugal Christmas, Part II
After nearly a lifetime of money-sucking hobbies, I am relieved to note that almost all of our Christmas presents were things that were more designed to save us money than to make us spend more.
Case in point, I noticed this afternoon that we were running out of yogurt and I went to put it on tomorrow morning’s grocery list when I remembered, “Hey! Didn’t we get a yogurt maker this year from my Godmother?”
I just pulled our first batch out — made with a scoop of leftover yogurt, 3 cups of reconstituted nonfat powdered milk [with extra powder for protein] and 1 cup of leftover heavy cream from Christmas … and, yum, it is good. The bit of heavy cream in there gives it that “Brown Cow” brand yumminess, but for way, way cheaper.

Hello! I found you are linking to me through Blogshares. I really liked this yogurt post and I think you should send it to Madame X at Open Wallet for the PF Bloggers Cookbook.
Thanks for linking to me!
