Halloween Nacho Cheese Dip with Goat Cheese

This is my favorite nacho sauce made fun for Halloween! The chili powder turns the sauce a bit yellow, so adding blue food coloring makes it green.

2 cups fresh goat milk
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup fresh goat cheese
3 tsp onion powder
3 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
blue food coloring
In a medium pot, heat goat milk and cornstarch over med high heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Add goat cheese, onion powder, salt, and chili powder, and continue to heat and stir until cheese has melted and sauce has smooth consistency. Milk or water can be added if mixture becomes too thick. Remove from heat and add blue food coloring a drop at a time until desired shade of green is reached. Serve warm or cold.
This sauce is also great with veggies, or stirred into rice or pasta.

dash fresh grated nutmeg

Preheat oven to 310 degrees. Prepare a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil. In a medium bowl, mix together milk and pumpkin until blended, then pour into baking dish.

Gluten Free Blackberry Cobbler

That moment when you realize your favorite goat has been eating blackberries out of the bowl as quickly as you have been picking them. Similarly, that moment when your favorite goat girl sees the purple on your chin and says the blackberry service is over. Dang! (Dang!)

I did manage to pick enough blackberries out of reach of my goat Jelly for a nice cobbler.

Gluten Free Blackberry Cobbler

3 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup sugar

1 cup brown rice flour
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup fresh goat milk
1/2 cup goat butter or olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9"x2"deep pie dish with olive oil or coking spray. In a medium bowl, place blackberries and sugar, stirring to mix, and set aside. In another medium bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Place flour mixture into the pie dish and spoon the blackberry mixture over the top. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the crust is well browned. Serve warm or cold. Tastes great with vanilla frozen goat milk yogurt.
