Hello Creamery friends,
At the Creamery's humble beginning in 1960, we never would have imagined producing a newsletter, let alone an e-newsletter! At that time, we were newlyweds, operating a small, struggling creamery and raising a family. We were supplying half pints of milk to the local schools, but even then Chuck had a notion that getting acidophilus culture into food would have countless benefits for folks and be the right thing to do.
Today we are pleased to still be feeding folks good, cultured food. After all these years we are amazed that our simple principles of natural living, healthful foods, family and community have rewarded us with a nationwide community of yogurt-eaters who share this same vision. Creating this newsletter is a way to strengthen our ties and communication with an ever-growing family of devoted Creamery friends. Each quarter we hope to publish recipes, news, stories, facts, lore, photos and other tidbits that will be both useful and fun.
Let us know what you think by visiting our website (www.nancysyogurt.com) and become an active part of our cultured community.
Sincerely,
Chuck & Sue Kesey and Family
Founders and Operators
Springfield Creamery
Eugene, Oregon

Nancy's Recipe Column
|
For more than 35 years, Nancy's products have been a mainstay in households across the U.S., so you can imagine the number of delicious dishes that have been prepared during that time using Nancy's products. In this column we will share some of our favorite recipes compiled from chefs, creamery employees and Nancy's fans. |
We thought we'd start by sharing one of Nancy Hamren's favorites, ( yes, the yogurt's namesake!) – yogurt cheese. Try this recipe at home, and share the wealth – or better yet, share the health!

Nancy's Yogurt Cheese
Whey is the naturally present water in milk that rises to the top of your yogurt. When you drain some of the whey from yogurt it gets creamier, thicker and more versatile, and is informally called 'yogurt cheese'.
Here's an easy way to make your own at home:
Line a colander or sieve with two layers of dampened cheesecloth or muslin. Set in a deep bowl and put 2 cups of Nancy's plain nonfat, lowfat or whole milk yogurt in it. Refrigerate, covered, for a minimum of two hours, but overnight for best results. Transfer the yogurt cheese in another bowl and it is ready to use as a low-cal alternative to cream cheese or sour cream in many recipes. Get creative and sweeten it with honey and use a dollop on hot blackberry cobbler. Or add your favorite herbs, ( e.g. oregano, thyme, cayenne) lemon zest and crumbled blue cheese for a great veggie spread.
The possibilities are endless – enjoy! |
