A Cooking Post: Yogurt
Yes. Homemade yogurt. Another food that’s super easy to make, but most people think it comes from small plastic cups in the dairy case. With lots of sugar, fake color, and thickening agents.
Here’s how I do it.

Cover Reveal: Worlds Apart
I’m a little nervous about this cover. Don’t get me wrong – I like it. I’m just… nervous.
