I love Greek yogurt. It is so thick and creamy, and it tastes delicious. The fact that it has more protein than standard yogurt is an added bonus too.
It can be an excellent substitute for a variety of ingredients, including butter, sour cream, cream cheese or buttermilk. I decided to use the yogurt to make some basic blueberry muffins, and they were delicious. They had a nice moist texture and my family gobbled them up in no time. My husband noticed the difference right away and asked what I had done differently, to make the muffins better than usual!
