Kid Friendly Friday - Making Yogurt




You have been seeing it all over other blogs (or maybe that was just me) but have you tried it yet?? I made yogurt in my crock pot this week and it was the easiest thing ever! Granted, it took many hours but it only took about 5 minutes of work. Talk about amazing your kids....it's like magic.

1. Pour 1/2 gallon of milk in crock pot (I used whole milk) and turn to LOW.

2. Wait 2 hours and 45 minutes.

3. Turn off.

4. Wait 3 hours.

5. Take a little bit of milk out of crock pot, mix with 6 ounces of store bought yogurt (with live cultures, which is pretty much all yogurt), put it back in the crock pot. Whisk it all together.

6. Wrap crock pot in a towel and put it in the oven (the oven is OFF!!!)

7. Wait 9 to 12 hours.

8. Hold breath.

9. You have yogurt!! Add fruit, vanilla, whatever.

10. You are supposed to let it refrigerate for 8 hours but I had to try it right away. Wow! I made yogurt :)

If your family goes through a lot of yogurt this is certainly kid friendly! When you are putting it away hold about a cup of it for your next batch so you don't have to buy any more. I guess it keeps getting better with every batch you make. Can't wait to see for myself. Can't wait to make frozen yogurt with it :)

What kid friendly idea have you come up with this week?? Link to Mr. Linky below!

Enjoy your weekend!
