So, if you are like me you have some powdered milk in food storage somewhere. Stalking you- because you know you are supposed to rotate it, which means actually using it. Which is, quite frankly, disgusting. Powdered milk is not really milk, not even close. It is like calling a fish stick real fish. So, a while back I began an internet research project of finding out how to make powdered milk pallatable. And I think I have found the way! And the answer is in three parts:
1. When you mix the powder and water, add some good old powdered coffee creamer. This gives it a richer smoothness.
2. After you have added the water and mixed it up, add a hefty bit of vanilla extract, the more the better! This is to combat the atrocious aftertaste of powdered milk- it's fatal flaw.
3. Mix this concoction you have created with half a gallon of the real milk in your fridge (masking the aftertaste for a second time) and voila! you REALLY can't tell a difference once you have done this. The whole pyschological trick of just seeing it the real milk jug totally tricks you into thinking it is the real deal. Plus, your kids see you pour it out of the real milk jug, therefore, it is their tastebuds that are suddenly wacko- and not your fault you are giving them exceedingly sub-par leche. So there it is, the secret to using and liking powdered milk. You're Welcome. Now, I am off to eat cereal for every meal of the day. Seriously, have you tried Chocolate Chex? Amazing.

If you like granola at all, I make a really awesome recipe that calls for 1-2 cups of powdered milk. I really go through mine making that stuff, and it is a great thing to know if there is ever a run on cereal, because you can use food-storage stuff to make your own breakfast cereal. Of course, if I remember right, all YOU need is some rice, milk, and sugar, right?
