Greek Yogurt

[Crankin]

I am lazy and gladly buy the Chobani plain. I have tried several brands of Greek yogurt and this one is the best, in my opinion. It even got my DH to eat non-fat yogurt, after years of spending $ on non-fat for me and low fat for him.
I eat it for breakfast at least twice a week, with fresh fruit mixed in, as well as walnuts. I also use it as a substitute for mayo in some recipes, or mix it with low fat mayo.

I make my own - it is so easy and so much much cheaper! A 1/2 gallon of non-fat milk yields enough for me & DW for a week.

Also I make my own Kefir.

Here is the recipe. After I make it I strain it. I find Trader Joe's is the best starter!

My dog looooooooves whey from yogurt. It gets poured over his kibble, and he thinks it's ambrosia.

I use generic plain yogurt as a starter, and wrap the pan of warmed milk with a towel overnight.

Let home made yogurt drain, press and salt it, and you have a soft cheese which is very nice as a spread. You can use a tea towel (and I have), but cheese cloth works much better.
