The Miracle Food!

If you're not using it already, get acquainted with Greek Yogurt. It is such a versatile food, and has many uses from breakfast to desserts. If you buy a family size, you can go through it quickly if you look to use it. And, there are numerous articles online tooting the nutritional benefits. To simplify them, Greek yogurt is healthy and fulfilling. The texture is much like sour cream, so try replacing sour cream in your recipes with Greek yogurt. We put it on everything from breakfast skillets to baked potatoes. You can also shred some veggies (try onions, cucumbers, dill, etc) into it or use it plain as a veggie dip. Put a tablespoon of honey in it to sweeten it up or try it with some fresh fruit. Enjoy!
