Hey Reader,

Thanks for checking out The Savvy Saige Monthly Newsletter! 🙌

Summer is by far my most favorite season. I love the long sunny days, trips to the lake, creek walks, and beach vacations.

If there's water and it's a sunny day, I'll be there 😉.

I also like to keep our meals a little bit more light and easy during the summer months. One of my favorite and most used condiments is sour cream. Since I am a huge fan of making things from scratch, homemade sour cream is the latest posted recipe.

Check out my latest raw milk recipe on the blog 👇

​2 Easy Recipes for Homemade Sour Cream​

If you are already in the habit of making milk kefir or Greek yogurt in your home, this homemade sour cream recipe will be an easy one to add to the rotation. Both raw milk kefir and raw milk Greek yogurt offer beneficial microbes to culture your cream into sour cream.

Once your cream has thickened and has the sour tang, you can use this homemade version as you would store-bought sour cream.

Full of probiotics, vitamins, and minerals, homemade raw milk kefir will be a healthy drink you reach for again and again. Whether you drink it plain or blend it with frozen berries for a healthy smoothie, your body will enjoy the many benefits.

​How to Make Raw Milk Greek Yogurt​

Greek yogurt is one of those easy breakfast items I go to again and again. It is a great source of protein, it saves me time in the morning, and I love adding my favorite toppings like honey and cinnamon.

While all 3 of these recipes can be made with pasteurized milk, I use raw milk for the superior health benefits.
