Make yogurt cheese? Strain it overnight in a coffee filter lined colander, then you can use it like
cream cheese. There must be a gazillion uses for yogurt cheese.

Or, use it as is in the place of sour cream, like in dips and sauces?

Make yogurt cheese and add your favourite herbs and spices to make a dip/spread (I use Penzey's
Sunny Paris).

Use it in a loaf cake--Barb just posted a banana bread that called for sour cream recently. You
could substitute yogurt for the sc. I used to have a lemon pound cake (fake pound cake) recipe from
Better Homes and Gardens that I did the same with.

Yogurt is also good dribbled with honey and sprinkled with nuts. Yum!

I've successfully used plain yogurt instead of sour milk in recipes for baked goods such as muffins
and cakes. In fact, I make this substitution so often that I no longer pay much attention to which
one I'm using. I'll look in the fridge and use milk soured with a little vinegar if that's what I
have on hand or use yogurt if I have some since that's one less step.

I got this awhile ago. It may sound strange, but is quite good:

Ottoman empire Yogurt Soup

Recipe By : Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour 1 quart chicken broth 1 cup barley 1 tablespoon kosher salt 3 cups yogurt --
plain 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 bunch mint leaves 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika -- or
Kirmizi biber or Aleppo pepper

Melt the butter over medium heat in a large heavy pot. Just when the foam subsides, add the flour
and form a roux. Pour in the chicken broth and continue to stir constantly. Bring the mixture to a
simmer and then add the barley and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat, cover and simmer until
the barley is tender; anywhere from 15-30 minutes.

While the soup cooks, blend the yogurt and egg yolks, in a large bowl, until smooth.

After the barley is tender, lower the heat and gradually whisk in the yogurt mixture and cook until
it begins to simmer.

While the soup is coming back to a simmer, place the olive oil into a small sauté pan, add the mint
and paprika. Heat until the mix is a golden color. When the soup is near a simmer, stir the mixture
into the pot and serve.

COUNTRY CORNBREAD (Source: Parade Magazine, Beth Merriman, Food Editor)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Preheat oven to 400 deg. Grease an 8x8" baking pan.

1 c enriched cornmeal 1 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
2/2 tsp salt
3/2 tsp baking soda

1 carton (8 oz) plain yogurt
4/4 c vegetable oil 1 egg

Sift together dry ingredients (I just put them in a bowl and mix them with a big spoon). In another
bowl blend yogurt, oil, and egg. Add dry ingredients and mix just until blended (do not overmix).
Pour into prepared pan.

Bake 20 min at 400 deg until toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! The top will be flecked
with brown rather than uniformly so.

Use them as a base for smoothies. Add banana, berries, etc. and moosh in a blender. Hmmm, I wonder
if you could make a sort of eggless eggnog with yogurt as a base?

Make Tsatsaki sauce for a Greek meal.

definately Lassi's. Mango is great, but almost any berry would be fine.

If you eat hot cereal, it adds a nice tang instead of pouring cream or milk over it.

Sweeten it (honey works well) and use it for a fruit dip.

Lots of good ideas here. An easy one is get some very good raspberry or other flavor preserves,
place in the bottom of a cup, spoon yogurt over the top and you have "fruit on the bottom" yogurt.
Add peanuts, almonds, cashews, etc. for added crunch.

Add some cut up fruit, maybe a sprinkle of cinnamon and eat it for breakfast. We do this all the
time. It avoids the 50% sugar premixed space food version and has a brighter taste.

rest .. best oatmeal cookies I have ever made!! ~Kat
