Orange Cream Chiller
I recently got The Dairy Good Cookbook: Everyday Comfort Food from America’s Dairy Farm Families and I am loving all the delicious dairy recipes. Every time I open the cookbook I get hungry. I cannot decide what to make first. It has over 100 recipes that showcase the unique tastes and versatility of dairy – from cheese and yogurt to milk and butter. The book celebrates the nation’s more than 47,000 dairy farm families and their contributions to our American life. I loved the farmer stories in the cookbook. I felt more connected to the dairy farmers by reading their stories. One family made me think of my own, as we love any excuse to get outside and enjoy our time together. This first recipe we tried was the Orange Cream Chiller. This was perfect to make for the kids and me as an afternoon snack. Yummy and nutritious snacks are great for the kids and me. I am anxious to get the book back out and try more recipes. I love getting in the kitchen with my kids and trying new yummy recipes.
Orange Cream Chiller
Ingredients/what we used: 3 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 1 cup milk 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 1 small banana, 3 frozen strawberries 1 teaspoon honey 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
How to make/ what we did: We combined the orange juice concentrate, milk, yogurt, frozen fruit, honey, and vanilla in a blender. Then blended on high until smooth. Last we poured into cups. Serve immediately. We added fun paper straws to our drinks and enjoyed our afternoon snack. 
My 4 and 6 year old helped me make our orange cream chillers. They love getting in the kitchen with me and making treats, snacks, dinner… I loved getting in the kitchen with my mom growing up. I learned so much from her and how to cook. For me as mom now I love that my kids can do the same with me. We are making yummy food and lasting memories. 
Fun fact: June is National Dairy Month. The Dairy Good Cookbook reconnects us with dairy farmers by bringing us recipes with wholesome dairy ingredients to share with our family and friends. The dairy farmer works hard to bring us great tasting milk, cheese, and yogurt. I love how the book is broken down as though you had spent a day on the farm: sunrise breakfast, midday lunch, after-chore snacks, sundown supper, and after-dinner dessert. There is also a section for family gatherings and special occasions. The book includes great photos of farmers and their lives. The food photos will leave you wanting to try it all. I look forward to making more of these recipes for my family.

Growing up, my grandma lived in Georgia and when I was little, the first recipe she taught me to make was cheesy mashed potatoes with whole milk. We make these potatoes every Christmas in honor of her. Over the years, our family has modified the recipe by adding bacon or garlic to the potatoes, but they are still as cheesy as ever. We now call these potatoes Granny Potatoes!

More a method than recipe – I make Chicago style pizza with extra extra cheese, for my husband, who grew up in Chicago and misses the food there sometimes.
Every year for Thanksgiving we make the most delicious Cherry Cheese Pie. Yes, we also have pumpkin, but it just isn’t the same without cherry cheese! Sometimes we make a second one the next day because the first one disappears so fast.

We have a cream cheese pound cake recipe that has become a family standard and favorite. My dad was first to make it and I also make it on occasion. This super rich cake has a whopping 6 eggs in it and 2 full sticks of butter! As kids, my siblings and I loved this cake and now our chilren have grown to love it as well to the point that they fight over who’s going to get the last piece.

My peanut butter cheesecake is a hit every holiday season with my family; I always make it.
My mom made calzones many Sunday nights — easy and delicious. So when I make them for my family (filled with cheese, veggies and meat!), I think of her. I even use her dough recipe, which has milk in it.
When I was a kid, I used to help my grandma cook and bake a lot. I learned so much from her! One of her best, and my favorite, recipes was for her creamy wild rice soup. Heavy cream and milk made it so creamy and delicious!

I have a delicious recipe for ham and potato soup that a friend gave to me. It is very easy and the great thing about it is that you can add additional ingredients, more ham, potatoes, etc and it still turns out great.
Combine 3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes, 1/3 cup diced celery, 1/3 cup finely chopped onion, 3/4 cup diced cooked ham and 3 1/4 cups water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules, salt and pepper to taste. In a separate saucepan, melt 5 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in 5 tablespoons all purpose flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in 2 cups milk as not to allow lumps. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.

I like to make creamy fennel soup that was passed down from my grandmother to mom to me!
My dish would be lasagna with ricotta cheese. My grandma used to make this on special occasions like birthdays and holidays. Although she passed away 5 years ago, it reminds me so much of the great family celebrations we had with her when she still was alive. I still make her recipe on birthdays.

I like making enchiladas because of all the cheese I put in them.
When I lived in Wisconsin, we visited the Wisconsin State Fair every year primarily for the cream puffs that were served in the dairy building. Cream puffs filled with sweetened whipped cream, and dusted with confectioner’s sugar-simply the best!
We love making Pimiento cheese dip. Every year when the family gets together someone from the family makes the dip and adds their special touch to it.
My mom made a really good manicotti that I love to make myself
Creamy chicken tortilla soup is one of my family’s favorites! I especially love it with jasmine rice mixed in.

My mom cooked the basics for my dad…meat and potatoes, nothing special or fancy. At some point as I got older, I became the mashed potato maker at thanksgiving. Everyone said how they liked my potatoes (perhaps in was the work involved in peeling and mashing that no one else wanted to do, or perhaps it was the addition of just the right amount of milk and butter. So, still nothing fancy and for about 40 years now, my specialty remains mashed potatoes.
For every special occasion my family requests my mini chocolate cheesecakes with cherries. I taught my daughter-in-law how to make them and now her family requests them also.

My son’s favorite food is mac & cheese. I found a recipe for mac & cheese & chicken muffins that I modified to make into JUST mac & cheese. Very simple, very delicious, and according to my son “even better than Applebees!” Here it is – 8 oz macaroni cooked and drained, 1 T butter melted, whisk in 1 T flour and a 1 t. salt. Cook 1 min. Whisk in 1.5 cups of whole milk, bring to boil and simmer 3 minutes. Turn off heat and mix in 1 cup of shredded or cubed white cheddar and .25 cup of shredded parm. I like to add steamed broccoli but it’s perfect without it too.
