Did you know that buttermilk is a magical ingredient? It contains lactic acid which activates baking soda. The result is tangy complex flavor and lighter doughs and batters... in a nutshell, fabulous baked goods!
Buttermilk is one of our favorite ingredients to bake with. It has a subtle, tangy flavor that is delicious in all kinds of recipes and to me, it's simply magical! From biscuits to cakes, bread and muffins, crackers and 2 insanely delicious salad dressings, you'll find lots to love so keep buttermilk on your forever grocery list!
If you're concerned about buying buttermilk and not being able to use it all up, no worries! Buttermilk freezes well so just pour it into containers, pop it in the freezer and next time the baking urge strikes, you'll be ready to roll without a trip to the grocery store!

Thought for the  day:
 This we know... "Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39
