Hello!
Just a quick post to share some random recent eats and creations.
First off … some pasta.
This was really good! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good picture of the actual meal so you’ll have to use your imagination but the tomato & basil in it was yum! ; )
Next up … two things I haven’t made in a long time … whole wheat bread and greek yogurt. I sort of just threw a concoction into the bread machine and hoped for the best (yes, I cheated by letting the bread machine knead it for me, and, well, do all the work. But I don’t care … it’s much easier that way).
It actually turned out pretty good, but it could use a little perfecting. (And some better lighting :p)
Annnnd the yogurt. I used to make greek yogurt all the time but stopped for a few months for not apparent reason. You can find a recipe in this previous post.
Erik asked me not to make it as thick as normal buuuut I still strained it too long and it was pretty thick. So I tried to redeem myself by adding some almond milk and agave nectar. It worked : ) Yum!
And that’s all for my random recent eats and creations.
What’s your favorite greek yogurt add-in?

I love Greek yogurt. My favorite mix in are fresh fruit-berries and peaches are my favs. I add a little agave too. We make our own yogurt now. It is so easy and so cheap and good!
ReplyDeleteyum! homemade greek yogurt? how very cool.
ReplyDeleteI need to make my own Greek yogurt too--it's making a dent in my wallet! I like mixing in granola (duh), fruit (duh), chia seeds, and broken up muffins. I like it plain Jane too!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of work! I'm lazy when it comes to cooking, remember? hehe. I copied and poasted this recipe anyway, as I may get more creative as I make more money to buy neat ingredients and gadgets (I don't even have a candy thermometer!). I've heard you can just strain regular yogurt to make Greek yogurt, is that true?
ReplyDeleteI love greek yogurt mixed with chocolate and peanut butter, such a great combo.
I like my plain Fage with a squirt of honey, Kashi Honey Almond Flax and mixed fruit.
ReplyDeleteNOTHING like homemade bread mmmm. That loaf looks perfect. I want to try making greek yogurt! I love to add in honey
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a bread machine too, love that loaf of WW bread!!! Can you make sprouted bread too?
ReplyDeleteAnd greek yogurt....omg.... I miss it! there's no greek yogurt in ARgentina so I haven't had yogurt for a month now. I can't wait to go back and have some. ;)
Oh man, I want to make greek yogurt!! And that bread looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteLOVE homemade bread! And love how the house fills with the aroma of baking bread :) I need to do that again soon!
ReplyDeleteI love adding chocolate chips, banana and honey to my yogurt :)
The Greek yogurt turned out great! (As did the wheat bread, I'm sure.)
ReplyDeleteJust marked your Greek yogurt recipe. It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI miss making bread...well using my Mothers machine too. it's fun!
ReplyDeleteGreek yogurt is one of my new favorite things. I never used to eat yogurt, never liked it much, but the Greek kinds actually appeals to me. I buy it plain then add in some honey and some almond butter. It's actually what I am eating for lunch today! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's impressive that you made your own Greek yogurt, I bet it cuts grocery costs way down!
ReplyDeleteI love adding fruit or vitatops to plain greek yogurt. And I really like eating it on top of a baked sweet potato!!
OOOOOOO! I just tried greek yogurt the first time like a couple weeks ago, and, honestly, I'm HOOKED. I can't believe you make your own!! That's so awesome! I'll definitely give this a shot! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the honey in mine...
you made your own greek yogurt? Just when I thought it wasn't possible to love you any more...
ReplyDeleteOooh, your bread is absolutely gorgeous! I am SO impressed that you made your own Greek yogurt! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
