Place cheese curd on cracker, microwave a few seconds until melted.
Hot Chocolate-Cinnamon Milk

Mix together fruit and wine in a pitcher or punch bowl, let the fruit soak for 1-8 hours. (the longer the fruit soaks in the wine, the stronger the flavor) Add soda just before serving. For ultimate enjoyment insert a colorful umbrella.
Parmesan Popcorn
1/4 C. Picket Fence butter
1/2 C. parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
2 quarts freshly popped popcorn
(We suggest hulless Tom Thumb popcorn from Perry, or Behren's organic popcorn from Carroll!)
Pour melted butter over popcorn. Sprinkle cheese and salt on top. Toss until well coated and serve!
Variation: To make herb seasoned popcorn, use the butter and salt, and add 1 tsp. thyme, and 1/2 tsp. each of basil, oregano and rosemary.
Cream of Mushroom Soup with Barley
by Danielle Wirth
Chicken Broth
Mushrooms
Onions
Picket Fence Creamery Cream
Organic Hulled Barley
Salt to taste (most canned chicken broth has salt added)
Home - made chicken broth is best, but you can also use canned broth. Be sure to avoid prepared chicken broth with MSG (monosodium glutamate) often used as a "flavor enhancer". MSG can be a trigger of migraine headaches.
For large batches.
Start with 32 oz of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarians)
Heat the broth in a large stock pot and add 2 or 3 onions.
Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer the onions for 20 minutes (or so)
Depending upon how much soup you want, in addition to the broth already in the stock pot, add 2 cups of water (or broth) for every cup of hulled barley.
Bring the mixture to a boil and add the hulled barley. Cook the barley on medium heat for 45 minutes.
When barley is cooked enough, add at least 1 pound or more of thickly sliced mushrooms.
Cook on low heat until the mushrooms are firm and tender - not mushy.
Remove from heat.
Stir in as much Picket Fence Creamery whipping cream as you'd like. (I use at least a quart)
Return to low heat and stir until the cream is thoroughly mixed in with the mushrooms and barley.
Salt to taste.
