Moms on WIC

[Anonymous]

How do you use the evaporeted milk that you get every month?

Do you use it to cook? Do you add water and make use it as regular milk?

I have cans of this stuff backed up. 

Every now and then Dh will use it in his coffee. I will use it to cook with if we are running low on regulat milk. 

Today I mixed a few cans with water in a milk jug. Then I tried it. It didn't taste TOO bad. It tasted like Skim milk but with a funky little after taste. I used chocolate and made some chocolate milke for DS with it. He didn't seem to mind. 

Anyways so I was just wondering how you other WIC moms use this stuff?

Edit: For those who are saying you do not get it, do you CHOOSE not to get it or is it not offered to you?

I don't get it either. We do get choice either regular milk or condensed.

I'm not on WIC but I know a few people who are and they don't get evaporated milk, they get regular milk.

I think it's mostly used for baking things like pies and things like that.  Try googling recipes with it.

I don't get evaporated milk either but I do get WAY too much PB.  I think I have almost a full jar open and 3 jars unopened in the cupboard.  I gave DS' father 1 unopened jar last month for DS to have at his house because I had 5 jars at that time.

I never got that when I was on Wic. But I use it now to make chocolate Caramel mochas. :)

I work for WIC in Arkansas. Ask them to.change your food package to regular milk. Generally evaporated milk is given to Moms with no refrigerators.

I dont get evaporated milk. Its milk, eggs, cheese, peanut butter, bread, and veges. I think its formula to age one, then whole milk, and 2% at age two. I live in michigan.

So do you get regular milk and condensed milk? Here you get a choice of one or the other.
