Homemade Butter Recipe

My plan was to make a small batch of whipped cream, so I skimmed some raw cream off of our latest batch of raw milk from our local farmer.

I wanted to do it by hand, the old-fashioned way. This was taking way to long with the small whisk. So, I got out my grandma's old egg beater.

Then I got distracted just as I was getting to the whipped peaks stage ... and ... I made sweet cream butter! And, a little buttermilk! So, not a real loss. Love me some raw butter!!

I'm going to start calculating my daily carbs, as I'm really trying to keep them lower than in the past. Having eliminated wheat/gluten-containing foods & most other grains, for the most part, has really helped my mom and me. But, I'm curious as to how many carbs we still get.I have a feeling they'll be pretty high today ... way more than 30g...

Estimated Carbohydrate Total:
45.5g Ugh. Too much ... and, just realized I had no meat today!!!! Must remedy that tomorrow!

Good Food Articles - July 5, 2012

I've read some really good articles on food health in the past year since I've really gotten serious about getting healthy with food and staying healthy. I'm going to start sharing some here each day in their own post. As well as any food-related recalls. I hope you enjoy them and learn something from them that will also help you. I am slowly getting used to a High Fat/Low Carb/Primal type of lifestyle & I'm really enjoying it. And, feeling healthier than I have in most of my life.
