Being the main cook in the family I am always looking for new inspiration for recipes; a few months ago I was introduced to Toby Amidor’s The Greek Yogurt Kitchen; with over 130 recipes I was immediately impressed at the amount of well-balanced, healthy meals that even the kids can enjoy!
Greek Yogurt has quickly become America’s favorite power food-and it’s no surprise why. Its high level of protein builds muscles and regulates metabolism, while its probiotics help maintain a healthy digestive tract and boost the immune system. Greek yogurt is also an excellent source of calcium and very low in sodium-and it’s lactose-intolerant friendly, too!
Amidor not only demonstrates the many health benefits of Greek yogurt, she also gives great tips on buying the best or even making your own plus shows off the amazing versatility of Greek yogurt. The Greek Yogurt Kitchen includes Greek yogurt in a great variety of recipes ranging from classic breakfast dishes to decadent deserts that are sure to please each guest, some recipes featured include:
- Oat Pancakes with Berry-Yogurt Sauce
- Pumpkin Bread
- Berry Greek Smoothie
- 7-Layer Party Dip
