On the Search for the Genuine

Thanks to CrockPot365, I’ve become
increasingly addicted to making homemade yogurt in the crock pot. There’s only two people in our house, so it’s not unusual to have
a quarter or half gallon of milk that’s a few days from going bad, and
making it into yogurt saves me from throwing it away. But this week I
got carried away and made an entire GALLON of yogurt, so I’m looking
for new and novel ways to use it up.

Thank goodness for the Allrecipes.com ingredients search. I culled
these from the top-rated recipes that contained yogurt. Ideas I’m
gathering from Allrecipes:

Tandoori chicken

Biscuits (notice the link in this recipe for a homemade biscuit mix)

Fruit Salad —they specify strawberry or lemon yogurt but I’m thinking it would
work with homemade yogurt + lemon juice and/or honey

Cornbread Pasta that’s creamy but lighter than something with a cheese sauces Put it in Baba Ganoush and Creamy Hummus Yogurt cheese, a good substitute for cream cheese

And while we’re talking yogurt cheese, you can use that to make
CHEESECAKE

And if you’re gonna make cheesecake, might as well use more yogurt
for the Graham Cracker Crust Drool. I think I’ll start with the pasta and the cheesecake!
