Cheesemaking has become my new hobby.  I have been experimenting with making fresh cheeses like mozzarella, ricotta, and goat cheese.  Goat cheese has a wonderful tart flavor that balances well with the sweetness of vegetables and fruit.  Fresh cheeses are easy to make because they don't require a lot of time nor expensive cultures. This recipe for homemade goat cheese is perfect on top of salads, spread on crostini, or simply by itself with some crackers.  This is a fun project to do on the weekend with your kids, friends, or significant other.  If you do not have time to make your own, buy a log of your favorite goat cheese and roll it in some freshly chopped herbs.
