Ahhh, dairy recipes....If you're a lover of dairy like our family is, your fridge is probably always stocked with an abundance of dairy. From milk and cheese to butter and one of my favorites, ice cream - there's something for everyone to like.
Before we get started, I've got some dairy good jokes for you... ready?

A: Nacho Cheese!

I may have saved the best for last. Tres Leches Cake is alight cake soaked in a sweet milk mixture and topped with fresh whipped cream and cinnamon. Sounds heavenly, doesn't it?
Oh, and before I go....one more for you -
