    Every morning it's plain yogurt mixed in a blender with The-Fruit-of-the-Day. I use about half a blender of ice also, as I like more watery smoothies and I need to boost my fluid intake. The smoothie, along with a carb of toast or rice cake, is a balanced meal.

    Cannot go wrong with a yogurt parfaits. I am really a purist when it comes to yogurt, but i do love to make salad dressings and combine yogurt with sour cream for taco toppings.

    I like how Jaimie Oliver uses yogurt instead of other forms of dairy such as sour cream or heavy cream. I also love to layer yogurt and berries between pancakes for breakfast, or add yogurt to my salad dressings.

  • elenajh  on  April 30, 2015

    Coffee cake!

    I love it in chicken tikka, too.

    Yum, the cover photo looks very refreshing ! I love having yogurt in the morning with granola and fresh fruit (my favorite kind is Brown Cow Creamery's whole milk Cream Top), and one of my favorite recipes that uses yogurt is the Zucchini Bread from The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook.

    Plain yogurt blended with generous portions of nutella! If the yogurt is very good, it pairs wonderfully withe the chocolate-y nutella and they both create the perfect dessert.

  • lizatarp  on  May 28, 2015

  • caniacwino  on  May 30, 2015

    I love yogurt 'salads'. Great with cucumber, lemon, fresh mint and Serrano pepper with a pinch of salt or with fresh cut fruit such as peaches, chopped hot pepper to taste, salt, cilantro and maybe some lime and toasted almonds.

  • Julia  on  May 30, 2015

    Tzatziki and in baking.

    I believe I'll also have to go with tzatziki: so versatile, so delicious!

  • aurorak  on  June 2, 2015

    I think a well made, resplendently cultured yogurt can stand on its own; but, if embellishments are desired, then maybe swirl in some high quality Orange Blossom honey [that's been kept in a glass jar]; snip in some slivers of dried apricot or candied or preserved blood orange rind; & strew on top some chopped pistachios or butter-gilded pine nuts. Yay!

  • rchesser  on  June 3, 2015

    I use my homemade yogurt to make yogurt cheese which is my favorite way to use yogurt.
