• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Things to do with whey

I recently started making yogurt at home, and decided I'd strain the whey out. At first, I had no idea the golden liquid was so beneficial. After learning a little more about it, I realized that pouring it down the drain would be like throwing diamonds away. This stuff is magnificent. Here are some things you can use it for:

1. An additive to to soup and stew stocks
2. It's pure liquid protein. Add it to smoothies!
3. Lacto-ferment vegetables with it
4. Dogs love it on top of dried food
5. Use it on your hair in the shower as a protein pack
6. Make Ricotta cheese with it
7. Marinate meat with a few added spices

If you have any more ideas on how to use it, please share!

Use it to make whey pancakes, and also replace 1/3 of the liquid in breadmaking
