Seize every opportunity and MILK it for all it's worth!

Milk is one of the staple ingredients in cooking and baking. As you store up for a rainy day, or a major disaster, you will want to have plenty of powdered milk. I grew up on fresh goat milk and never liked the taste of powdered milk, but when it's all we have to use, I'm sure I'll be grateful to have it! So I've collected a few recipes that I like, and that others have recommended. Try them out and let me know what you think.
