Making Ricotta and Mozzarella cheese

The Marshall cousins sent us a cheese making kit as a late Christmas, but right on time Valentine's Day present.  Jordan was the most excited about it and was eager to help, or rather, do/make it for us.

Her first attempt was to make Ricotta cheese on April 9th.  We made it with a gallon of whole milk. 

This is the result.  We made lasagna with it the next day.

On May 2nd, she did Mozzarella cheese with a gallon of whole milk.

All grated up and ready to use in lasagna (again).

 We read (after making Ricotta cheese the first time, that you can make Ricotta from the whey of Mozzarella.  So we attempted making both the second time.  It worked, there was only about 3 oz. of the Ricotta though after making the Mozzarella.

The Lasagna was yummy and so was our freshly made cheese!

Kammie had some fun as well...
