We eat a lot of yogurt at our house. Really. A lot. A scary
amount of yogurt that keeps me running from the big box store, to the health food
store and then to the local market. Several times a week.
Our yogurt choices are as different as our personalities. We each have our favorites. Only Greek. Only non-fat. Only this brand or only that brand. It is comical and maddening all at once.
OIKOS, is my brand of choice. Non-fat. Plain. I love it. I add it to my morning smoothies, simple hummus and to most of my baking.
Most often, I add yogurt in place of oil in our
favorite cornbread and muffin recipes.
I will also add plain Greek yogurt to our mashed cauliflower or potatoes and sometimes I lighten up a pancake batter with just a bit of yogurt folded in at the last. Whenever I can replace sour cream, butter or oil I try Greek yogurt.
In my search of more inspiration I often refer to the OIKOS site and have found some real family favorites. Here are a few that we make and they are always a hit. Like you, I may adjust seasonings, sugar (if any) or other needs to fit our family.
Next time you are searching for a new recipe or an updated version of a family favorite visit the OIKOS site. I think you will find a tasty addition to your recipe repertoire.

*I really cut the sugar in this recipe. I just use a tablespoon in the crust mixture and then cut it by 1/2 in the batter mixture. Plan according to your tastes. We use all plain non-fat yogurt and a bit of lemon zest and vanilla to our liking. Plate with some fresh berries. We have made this several times for guests and they have loved it too.
Enjoy!
