I must have been complaining that I sometimes have a hard time finding it Target stores with grocery. She swears she can find it there, so I&#8217;m convinced it&#8217;s just a store by store stocking thing.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230;she mentioned how easy it is to make ricotta cheese from scratch. Since I had never tried to make it, I set out to do it. \u00a0All I needed was some 2% milk and the rest I was covered in my pantry and fridge. It&#8217;s truly too easy not to make it. Unless I&#8217;m making something very last minute, I will never buy ricotta cheese from the store again. You can&#8217;t get much fresher than &#8220;just made&#8221;.
