I think my Mom was helping me along that morning. :)<br /><br />It's interesting that you mention the price of Greek yogurt. Even though I managed to buy three containers of the Oikos yogurt for free, I did notice that they were over $4/each. That's a lot more money than I'd usually pay for yogurt, so the cost is going to play a part in whether I buy more in the future.<br /><br />Maybe I should have added a sprinkling of sugar before trying it. Just thought that would have defeated the purpose of eating the yogurt! ;-)Michelle Rittlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662267848184660743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-22664615485647004022009-05-04T00:39:00.000-04:002009-05-04T00:39:00.000-04:00Congratulations on your great run!

I'm jealous that you got to try it. <br /><br />I like it with fresh fruit. The tang doesn't bother me and I love that it's thick, but I do add a bit of sugar. It's also good wherever you use sour cream. Try it on chili. The whole milk one is sooo luxurious that I figure it's too good to be good for you. I find so little difference between the 2% and nonfat that I go with the nonfat...when I'm feeling flush enough to buy it in the first place.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284023935180677683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-34336993539031011182009-05-03T21:17:00.000-04:002009-05-03T21:17:00.000-04:00Adrian B-B - Wowza!

I've seen some of my coworkers eating the Fage yogurt, so I'll definitely have to try it.<br /><br />Once I get used to the taste of the yogurt, I'd love to use it for breakfast parfaits. And your black lentil soup sounds <I>amazing</I>!! And, I really like the idea of using the Greek yogurt rather than mayonnaise in recipes because I don't like mayo.<br /><br />Hmm... Now that I think about it, why don't I just let you make me yummy food with Greek yogurt in it? ;-)Michelle Rittlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662267848184660743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-75809902630609397372009-05-03T20:34:00.000-04:002009-05-03T20:34:00.000-04:00Greek yogurt is the best!

I usually use the low fat or non fat version, but occasionally use the full fat version in dessert. <br /><br />For breakfast I like to mix a little Greek yogurt with honey and whatever granola, cereal, or fruit I have on hand.<br /><br />I use it in a bazillion dinner recipes. In the winter my boyfriend's very favorite food is a black lentil soup with tomatoes and spinach. I mix Greek yogurt with curry powder, garlic powder, and salt and top the soup with the delicious concoction. It's amazing.<br /><br />I use the fat free or low fat version as my main base instead of mayo in a number of recipes, like chicken curry salad and coleslaw. I like to make a dressing with it that has vinegar and garlic and serve it mixed into red quinoa and chopped green apples. I also love a delicious Persian spinach salad, which uses Greek yogurt and lemon juice over sauteed spinach and red onions. <br /><br />For dessert I serve the full fat version mixed with honey and fresh berries. It's a nice alternative to fresh made whipped cream if you can't find your whisk. <br /><br />Don't give up on Greek yogurt! It's so yummy and has so many diverse uses.Adrian B-Bnoreply@blogger.com
