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

Bread Machine Pita Bread and Pockets

Have you ever tasted something fresh for the first time and wondered why you spent years settling for the packaged version? That was me the day I walked into a Middle Eastern grocery store and bought a bag of warm pita bread. The package was still steamy, and I suddenly understood what pita was supposed to be. Store-bought pita can’t hold a candle to the homemade kind. My brand-new recipe for Bread Machine Pita Bread (with an optional oatmeal twist!) is finally live. Your bread machine...

Whether you are making a gift list for yourself or someone else, here are two things I think every baker or cook should have and use in their kitchen. DIGITAL SCALE: The fastest way to cook and bake more consistently—especially with flour. Weighing in grams removes guesswork and keeps recipes repeatable. Look for a scale with a tare button, 1-gram (or 0.1-oz) resolution, and an easy-to-read display. Set your mixing bowl on the scale and start dumping--no measuring cups required. I like the...

Sliced 50/50 whole wheat French bread on a cutting board, with butter on the side.

Have you tried my popular bread machine recipe, "Bread Machine French Bread"? It may not be authentic French bread, but it's an easy and delicious recipe for beginners that usually turns out great. Recently, one of my readers requested a whole wheat version. It's not quite as "fool-proof" because whole wheat has a different personality and needs a little extra care. When you try this recipe keep these tips in mind. A Few Handy Tips for Baking with Whole Wheat Flour White vs. Red. White whole...
