The Frozen Yogurt Habit I'm Not Giving Up Anytime Soon


Thankfully, Greek yogurt is good for most people.

To my yogurt-loving friends,

Confession time: I’ve been eating these homemade frozen yogurt treats almost every day for the past three years—yes, even in the winter.

They’re made with Greek yogurt (homemade, in my case), milk (dairy or non-dairy), and just a few mix-ins. Then they’re spun into something creamy and scoopable using a small machine called the Ninja Creami. It’s not your average ice cream maker—this one blends the yogurt after freezing. The result? A cool, satisfying treat that keeps me full for hours, without the sugar or heaviness of traditional ice cream.

Before you look it up, fair warning: it’s a bit pricey. I held off for a while myself. Whether it’s worth it depends on your priorities. If you’re aiming to eat healthier with foods that truly satisfy, keep reading. If you can only be happy with a nightly bowl of Ben & Jerry’s, you probably don’t need this.

(One more caveat: this machine is LOUD when it's operating. That's why we keep it in our laundry room so we can shut the door when using it.)

In my latest post, you’ll find:
– My go-to Greek yogurt Creami base (doesn't work with a regular ice cream maker
– Low-sugar flavor combos that still taste like dessert
– Tips for getting that creamy texture without heavy cream

If you already own a Creami, this might become your favorite way to use it. If not, you’ll see why I keep coming back to this treat again and again.(My husband loves them, too.)

Let me know if you give it a try--or if you're already hooked, like me!

Doing my best to keep you cool,

Paula

sliced bread machine wild rice bread

Dear Friends, When one of my readers asked for a soft, sandwich loaf with wild rice, I headed to the kitchen with a mission. The result is this hearty yet soft loaf with chewy bits of wild rice, nutty whole wheat, a touch of honey, and a pinch of thyme. Let your bread machine do the kneading, then bake in your oven to golden perfection. If you’ve got leftover cooked wild rice in the fridge, this recipe is a great way to use it. And if you brush slices of this loaf with browned butter …well,...

five stars

Are you as picky about the texture of your bread as I am? Don’t get me wrong—I love big airy holes in a classic sourdough or ciabatta. But when I’m making sandwich bread or soft dinner rolls, I want a smooth, even crumb. No holes—or worse, tunnels. Nobody wants mayonnaise dripping out of a sandwich or jelly leaking through their toast. Recently, I discovered a slick hack that’s made a big difference in the texture of my sandwich loaves and rolls. Here’s the trick: When the DOUGH cycle...

bread machine bagels

Hi Friend, Ever wished you could skip the store-bought bagels and make your own chewy, golden beauties at home? Now you can—and yes, your bread machine makes it way easier.

I even included a short video showing how to shape and boil the bagels—so don’t worry if your first few look a little...
