(LINK FOR all THE YUMMY RECIPES)
Listed below are some fun recipes calling for breastmilk.....
Keep in mind that breastmilk can readily be substituted for anything that calls for milk: Creamer for coffee or tea (iced or hot), scrambled eggs, instant hot chocolate made with breastmilk instead of water (don't forget the marshmallows!). Good ole mac n cheese, cheesecake, what about fudge and eggnog during the holidays?
Libations Perhaps? Just to name a few yummy cocktail recipes: Kahula and...Breastmilk? (Which is pretty much self-explanatory). Milky Way Galaxy? Navy Moose Milk? Hot Milk? White Russian?
Let your imagination run wild as well as your tastebuds!
Enjoy!

ITALIAN MACARONI
1/2 cup uncooked macaroni
1 cup water
1/4 - 1/3 cup peeled and cut up eggplant (zucchini may be substituted)
1/2 medium skinned and cut up fresh tomato
1/3 cup milk breastmilk
1 tablespoon grated cheese
Dash of dried parsley
Dash of oregano (optional)
Dash of salt
Cook macaroni, tomato, eggplant (or zucchini), and seasonings in water for 12 – 15 minutes. Add breastmilk and grated cheese. Stir well until cheese is melted.
BREASTMILK SOAP
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup lye (NaOH)
1 1/2 cups vegetal oil
1/2 cup cocoa butter
1 cup breastmilk
Don't use metallic material, since it may react with lye. In a small bowl, add to lye to water (NOT water in lye). Mix well to dissolve lye. Let sit until it reach 115°F (like a warm bath). Mix oil and cocoa butter. Heat until 115°F. You can microwave 60 seconds on HIGH. Add lye to the oil mix (DON'T pour oil in lye). Mix until it takes a silky look--about 10 minutes. Add breastmilk, stirring slowly. The color will change according the amount of fat in your milk, so each batch may have a different colour. Stir until the mix looks like instant pudding - between 45 minutes and 1 1/2 hours. Pour into moulds - You can use almost anything you want; muffin tin is good start. You may want to oil moulds, or cover them with saran wrap or wax paper to make unmoulding easier.
Let sit for 3 days then unmould - some people freeze the soap to unmould it, but it should really be avoided. Let cure in a dry place for at least 4 weeks. The more your soap will cure, the more neutral it will be. You can taste it (I don't mean eat it!) to see if it is neutral.
This recipe will give you 24 oz (if you used a muffin tin then you'll get 12 soaps.)
Lye can be purchased in some supermarkets or grocery stores but it is harder to find it today, since products like Drano are widely spread. You have to use PURE lye to make soap. Usually it is sold in a 12 oz can. If you can't find it in your area, you can always buy it from a chemical laboratory or a chemical supplies retailer, but many of them sell it in 50 pound bags.
Notice how a lot of these have more than one serving? I wonder if she saves the other servings for later or feeds it to unsuspecting people?
