Giveaway: I Love Greek Yogurt! Cooking With Greek Yogurt-Easy and Healthy!
I have never honestly thought about cooking with yogurt. We always have yogurt in our fridge. It’s a family staple in this house, but cooking with it never crossed my mind once. I always viewed it as a cold food and never thought of anything else that could be done with it. I was thrilled to come across some wonderful cooking suggestions that put our beloved yogurt into even more parts of our day! Along with that, I also found out the awesome news that the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council is not on Facebook and Twitter! I found out some wonderful things about cooking with yogurt and a conversion chart with some substitutions you can use during cooking or baking. (source:Chobani website)
