Various Ways to Use Greek Yogurt

[mastichas09]

I love Greek yogurt and I currently am learning how to make it. I thought I would share with you all what I do with it. Some of it is in "Greek cooking", and I also have other uses. My list:

• I blend the yogurt into my morning smoothies with fruit for added protein - I don't like protein powder.
• I make a yogurt cake and Greek yogurt is my favorite type of yogurt in the recipe.
• I make a pasta dish that uses yogurt, kind of like an Alfredo sauce.
• I love making tzatziki...

How do you use Greek yogurt in your cooking?

I don't use it in cooking. We grew up eating plain yogurt by itself. That's how I like it best. The fruit flavored yogurts seem like an American invention to me. We happily ate ours plain and it was homemade.

I've had yogurt cake and like that a lot, but other than that, don't use it on cooking.

This is how I grew up, too! I started making yogurt cake because I always buy too much yogurt and often look for ways to use it up.

I think there's a recipe for a yogurt cake in one of my Greek cookbooks and I remember making it and it was good. You could probably find a recipe online. Good luck!

When it's whole-milk yogurt it will substitute for sour cream in a baked potato, a bit of a tang, but it works for me.
