I’ve always meant to try making ricotta…let us know how it goes!
Jane, I couldn’t believe how easy it was — 1-½ quarts of milk, a couple tablespoons of lemon juice and a simmer for about 15 minutes, and that’s all it took to make 1 cup of ricotta. ! I don’t think I’ll be buying it ever again.

The chowder was from this Instant Pot cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Electric-Pressure-Cooker-Cookbook/dp/1623156122, and the tacos from this one: https://www.amazon.com/Taco-Tuesday-Cookbook-Tasty-Recipes/dp/1592338194/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=86269684758&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxPL30tja9QIVQhx9Ch060g7VEAAYASAAEgJRyfD_BwE&hvadid=399972490249&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9030036&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=18186285357037109376&hvtargid=kwd-303091931975&hydadcr=21560_10176562&keywords=tacos+cookbook&qid=1643587529&sr=8-3.
