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?
We get both.
Between DS and I (I am pregnant) we get 41/2 gallons of regular (2% milk) and then 4 - 12 oz cans of evaporated milk.
Quoting EthansMomma2010:
You can get regular milk instead right? I used the cans to make milk for my DS. He never cared. I liked that it didn't go bad like a whole gallon would. Now we drink coconut milk which wic doesn't cover.
I know I am not hte only perosn in the world who gets it. My best friend who is also pregnant gets evaported milk as well.
Do you have a recipe to make mac n cheese with it?
Quoting Diva-Mami:
I didnt get wic but the ppl I know that do dont get that. But you can bake with it or make mac n cheese with it.
Here you can get dry or can beans! But those are easy to use just make a big pot of chili or soup.
