You’re quite welcome, Natasha. Clearly I need to look at all these whey uses you guys have mentioned — I’m missing out!

Chica, thanks for sharing your yogurt site – yummy! I can hardly wait to try it. I agree with Mary, don’t throw out the whey. It’s too valuable. I am desperate for some. I use it for lacto-fermenting vegetables, making soaked pancakes, and all kinds of other yummy goodness.

I should warn those that haven’t tried making your own yogurt…you will be spoiled! I can no longer eat yogurt bought in a store. Chica’s is SOOOO good I can’t go back!

Sheila, it’s so nice to hear that we’ve been able to inspire you to grow your crafting skills and also start your own blog. Best of luck with it!

Everyone else, thanks so much for all the advice on using whey. I’ve got lots of new techniques to try

Hi Chica,

There are several lacto-fermented items you can make with your left over whey, beverages, mayonnaise etc. even soak carrots in it for a couple days for a healthy, tart, crunchy taste I’m sharing a few links I’ve enjoyed,

If you are baking bread/biscuits/…, you can use the whey instead of water.

I make my yogurt in an ice chest filled with 115-120 degree water up to the rims of the wide mouth pint canning jars I like to use for yogurt. Usually done in between 2 to 3 hours. You need a water to jars ratio sufficient to keep the water above 100 degrees for the duration.

I use whey for the liquid when I bake bread.

This is awesome! I LOVE greek yogurt but it gets expensive.

I just wanted to let you know that yours was the first crafty blog I ever started following years ago and it started a small obsession. The phone book organizer was the first project from a blog I tried! The obsession has grown so much so I finally just started my own. Since you were a big part of my inspiration, I’d love it if you had a spare minute to check it out and tell me what you think. http://beyondcookiecutter.blogspot.com/

Thanks for all the awesome projects and inspiration Chica and Jo! -Sheila
