It's easy to make almond milk at home: just blend some raw, blanched almonds with water, add a little honey or maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor, and strain out the solids. Nutritionally speaking, almond milk is just a smidgen lower in calories and fat content than soy milk.

When searching in my kitchen for things to toss into my braising dish, milk and cream are not the first to jump out. But after a few conversations with a dear friend I was inspired to look into recipes for pork braised in milk and cream. The final product is moist and tender, and the milk and cream create a thick, curdled, porky sauce that is unlike anything I have ever tasted before.

All good things must come to an end. But luckily, when you hit that depressing moment when a bowl of cereal is done, you still have that magical elixir waiting for you as a last treat. You know what I'm talking about here, people.
Cereal milk. We decided it was time for a blind taste test to find out which chocolate cereal makes the best milk. We went with the three most popular, purely chocolate cereals: Cocoa Krispies, Cocoa Puffs and Cocoa Pebbles.

Single-commodity histories are pretty commonplace these days. From salt to tomatoes to honey, it seems that every food item in the grocery store has a special story. In my time, I've read quite a few histories of milk—okay, maybe just two or three, but that still feels like a lot of pages dedicated to an everyday cereal enhancer. But historian
Deborah Valenze makes a good case for yet another milk history with her new book
Milk: A Local and Global History.

Coffee milk is the state drink of Rhode Island. But so few consume it outside of this little state! After failing to explain the drink's importance to non-Rhode-Islanders, I decided it was time for a definitive answer. That's right—it was time for a taste test.
I tried three brands of syrup side-by-side to find the yummiest: the two classics (Autocrat and Eclipse) and a newcomer (Morning Glory).

I'll be honest, before I talked to David Wright and Corey Hinkel, I would have bet my life that you couldn't find something like the
artisan dairy operation they run in a place like
Northeast Alabama. But a conversation last week with the duo shattered my Northerner-biased expectations and has given me a mind to visit the Heart of Dixie. They're churning out Gouda, Cheddar, Abodance, and an Asiago cheese they call Wanda.

No, it doesn't simply tell you it comes from cows. Or goats or sheep. Simply plug in the numeric code found on the milk container and
Where Is My Milk From? names and maps the dairy it came from. Also works with yogurt, chocolate milk, soy and organic milk, coffee creamer, cottage cheese, and ice cream. Only works for U.S. dairy products, though. [via

Did we figure out a cheese-making method that's completely idiot-proof and makes clean-up a snap? Yep. Just combine your ingredients in a glass container, microwave on high for a couple minutes, stir once, and drain. Ta da! You have just made ricotta.

Raise Your Hand For Chocolate Milk is a new campaign from the National Dairy Council and Milk Processor Education Program to promote keeping chocolate milk in schools and prevent them being banned as schools have done with sugary sodas and candies, reports the AP. Unlike soda and candy though, chocolate milk can be touted for having nutritionally beneficial calcium. Supporters say that the health benefits of chocolate milk outweigh the negative effects of the sugar content, and kids are more likely to drink chocolate over regular milk; the opposition says kids already get enough calcium without chocolate milk, and they don't need more sugar in their diets. Whose side are you on? Do you think chocolate milk should be kept...
