Yogurt Recipes

There are so many different uses for yogurt in cooking.

Most of these yogurt recipes use plain whole milk yogurt. I am not a fan of nonfat yogurt, it is more sour than low fat or plain yogurt.

I usually cook with plain whole milk yogurt. Our homemade yogurt is almost always made with whole milk because I have young children (little ones should have whole milk).

If you want to substitute a reduced fat yogurt in these recipes you can, but I don't recommend using a non fat yogurt at all.

If you like to share recipes, let me know. I love to hear about new ways to use homemade yogurt in recipes.

Most of these recipes are not new.

Nearly every culture has a tradition of using fermented dairy products in a variety of ways.

Many of these recipes have been adapted from ethnic cuisine. Generations have made them daily and countless have been nourished by these classic meals, soups, side dishes and breads.

You also avoid all the perservatives, refined sweeteners, stabilizers, artificial flavors and colors that are most in commericial dressings. Most importantly yogurt salad dressings are delicious. You'll enjoy so many more salads.
