A couple of weeks ago I showed you how I make my own homemade yogurt. How about taking all that yogurt goodness and making a spreadable cheese, similar to cream cheese?

Bench Storage
About 10 years ago Big Bear (a grocery store chain that was based out of Columbus, OH) closed their doors. When they were selling their fixtures, my husband and I took a look and found 3 sturdy wire shelving units that could double as benches. All these years I have used them for storage but…
