    You all have inspired me with the Greek Yogurt.

    I made up my own simple recipe this morning by combining some ideas. I put a little honey and cinnamon in it then used it as a dip for my apple.

    With all these great different recipes and uses, I'm probably going to start keeping it in the house. So glad I asked you all!!

    Bump! I'm also new to greek yogurt and love the ideas on how to use it. I am working to acquire a taste for it - probably it is more the consistency than the actual taste. Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful ideas and recipes I have gotten from MFP!

    ohhh its the best! I use it to replace fat in recipes like this muffin one, where I use yoghurt instead of oils or butter...http://bakenbeebz.blogspot.com/2011/09/apple-and-blackberry-healthy-muffinz.html

    Ooooh, someone said tzatziki - yum! I also sometimes just mix a dollop with some dried mint - great dolloped on a curry.

    I sometimes also mix some up with basil or pesto (with a glug of olive oil if you are low-carbing!) to drizzle as a lovely creamy salad dressing.

    Or make my fab oatbran chocolate muffins I posted a while ago - the yogurt keeps them lovely and moist!
