Thought we had a "Desserts" thread but didn't find one if we do.
I make my own ricotta cheese...sounds difficult but its stupid easy and the resulting difference to even low volume local ricotta I buy at the store makes it a regular process. Making calzones (thanks for the shoehorn effect J ) today and needed, well yes, ricotta!
So...I've been pouring the leftover whey down the drain for 30+ years and never gave it much thought until lately. Found several uses for the whey including this Lemon Meringue Whey Pie recipe from the Prairie Homestead.

I think this is only the 2nd meringue anything pie I've made in 30+ years...not a huge fan of them I guess...but next time I'll drop the salt and vanilla. Otherwise its a damn tasty pie if I do say so myself
