Make-Ahead Strawberry Rhubarb Breakfast Parfaits
Perfect for busy mornings and great as a filling snack, this simple recipe is protein and calcium-rich, fruity and refreshing, and substitutions are easy. Plus it’s portable! Everyone in my family likes to eat a good breakfast, but no one is willing to sacrifice precious minutes of sleep to prepare one before heading out…
Pineapple Kiwi Vanilla Yogurt Smoothie
Green smoothies have a way of making people run the other way. For some, the color is a turnoff. For others, the mere idea of putting spinach or kale into a fruity drink just doesn’t appeal. So when Stonyfield asked me recently to create a green smoothie including yogurt, I used a kiwi as my…
Easy Yogurt Cream Cheese
Yogurt “cheese” really isn’t cheese at all. It’s simply yogurt that has been thickened into a soft, cream cheese-like consistency…and it’s delightful on your morning bagel or in recipes calling for cream cheese or sour cream. Although I have used fat-free and 2% yogurt to make this creamy spread, I prefer whole milk yogurt for a…
Fudgy Yogurt Brownies (egg-free)
Brownies with no eggs, no oil, and lots of protein… Hmmmm. Believe it or not, they taste great, too. These homemade treats are just as decadent as “regular” brownies and can be made with ingredients you likely have on hand. And if you, like me, adore a thick, chewy, moist, fudgy brownie, these have your…
Yogurt Bran Muffins
Do you have a favorite community cookbook? I have a few, which I enjoy reading from time to time. The recipes are like a slice into someone else’s kitchen, and they’re personal in a way that many mainstream cookbooks are not. Recently, Stonyfield Organic sent me the Yogurt Cookbook, which is a compilation of recipes submitted…
Chipotle Maple Sweet Potato Soup
My good friend, Sonali, is an ER physician, wife and mother of an adorable toddler. In her “spare” time, she authors The Foodie Physician blog and writes cookbooks. (I know what you’re thinking…I don’t think she sleeps!) Sonali kindly asked to include several of my Greek yogurt-inspired recipes in her recently published The Greek Yogurt…
Pick-a-Grain Trail Mix Salad with Honey Yogurt Dressing
As part of a project with Stonyfield and Bob’s Red Mill (two companies with high-quality products and the nicest people behind the scenes, by the way), I was recently challenged to create a salad using one of the lesser known ancient grains–think amaranth, bulgur, farro, and sorghum–and yogurt. Loving the mild, nutty flavor and hearty…
Strawberry Salad with Creamy Poppy Seed Yogurt Dressing
For many years, my father had a hush-hush arrangement with a stand holder at Lancaster Central Market. I only learned about it last year when he delivered a coveted box of the first homegrown strawberries after I had come home empty handed only hours before. After shopping at Market for sixty-plus years, my father…
Deviled Egg Spread
This easy, make-ahead recipe is everything we love about the classic deviled egg, but in the form of a light meal! Deviled eggs are favorite picnic and cookout fare — and they’re also an ideal way to use all those colored Easter eggs! My sister-in-law and my mom make the best deviled eggs, but this…
Make-Ahead Granola Parfaits
This slightly different preparation yields surprisingly delicious results. Consider preparing several at one time, as the parfaits will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days. Preferring my granola crunchy, I was skeptical the first time I tried this. After resting in the fridge overnight, I was pretty sure the granola…
Yogurt Almond Flour Dutch Baby
Almond flour, Greek yogurt, and eggs form the base of this wholesome, filling, grain-free twist on the traditional Dutch baby. Did you know that February is National Pancake Month? I recently discovered this when Stonyfield Organic issued a friendly challenge to create a pancake recipe using yogurt. One of the early recipes on…
Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Five minutes of prep reward you with a hearty, nourishing, grab-and-go breakfast that’s brimming with pumpkin and warm spices! If I counted how many times I started my day with overnight no-cook oatmeal cups, well….let’s just say it would be a very big number! I love to quickly whip up a jarful (or several)…
