Welcome to the Foodie Friends Friday 

St Patrick's Day GREEN Recipes Party!!

Congo Squares

My great grandma had this recipe in her recipe box for years.  I needed a birthday treat I could wrap up individually and thought about these.  It's like a chocolate chip cookie in a bar and easy to make.

Congo Squares

2-3/4 cups flour
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
2-1/2 cups light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup nuts, coconut, and/or chocolate chips.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small bowl mix together dry ingredients.

30 Minute Mozzarella

Have fun turning milk into cheese!

30 Minute Mozzarella

1 gallon WHOLE cow's milk (not ultra high pasteurized*) 
1-1/2 teaspoons Citric Acid Powder
1 cup cool water cool (to mix with citric acid)
1/4 teaspoon liquid rennet, liquid
1/4 cup water (to mix with rennet)
salt to taste

Put the cool milk into a stainless pot. I use a double boiler. Dissolve the citric acid into 1 cup of cool water. Stir into the milk. Bring the temperature of the milk to 90 degrees and remove from heat. Mix the rennet into ¼ cup cool water and stir into the milk for about 10 seconds.  Use the spoon to slow down the turning of the milk so it can rest.
