I have several seitan recipes I’m using, but the first thing I did was come up with a good powdered vegetable bouillon. If you want, you can check out the reicpes:
And here’s some goats,
just because.

I do not have room for any more milk out in the garage freezer, but I’m still milking Zinnia (and Joy once a day, but she’s not giving me much).
I am trying to find creative ways to use the milk other than just a cup of hot chocolate in the evening. I decided to try a creamy mushroom and rice soup.
I was pleasantly surprised with the results!
In a large stock pot melt 6 Tbsp of margarine and sauté:
After the veggies are soft and the mushrooms are cooked add:
Let it simmer a couple of minutes and then sprinkle 3 Tablespoons of flour over it. Once it is stirred and all the flour is incorporated, add:
Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked and it is getting thick. Then add:
Cook until it is hot and bubbly. Make sure to stir it so that it doesn’t stick to the saucepan.
I am down to milking two girls. That honestly, is why I put Joy and Zinnia with Xerxes. It made it easier for me to call them up to milk.
Although, the scent the day Joy got bred was a bit overwhelming in my little milk room. I’ll be sure to freeze that for next year’s kids.
Zinnia wasn’t as bad.
I’m not getting a lot of milk, but that’s okay because I don’t need that much right now.
I’ve got the freezer almost full, so it’s mostly just what I need for my daily use.
Broccoli Chicken Penne with Cream Sauce
In a skillet sauté
Put this in a 9×13 baking dish with 2 cups cooked penne and add the cream sauce.
Cream Sauce: In a medium sauce pan, melt 3 Tbsp. margarine and add 3 Tbsp. flour. Stir until the flour is all damp. Add 2 cups whole milk and beat with a whisk (or stick blender) to get rid of any lumps. Add 1 cup vegetable stock, 1/2 tsp. lemon pepper, and 3/4 cup parmesan cheese. Stir until it is thick and bubbly.
Once it is thick, add it to the baking dish and bake at 350ºF until it is hot completely through.
I will say, I do love this time of year for making creamy soups and other yummy dishes with goat milk.
