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

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak--in white serving dish; ready-to-serve

Thank you to everyone who wrote in with slow cooker suggestions. Most of you shared models you’re using and loving, and I appreciated every single note. If I wasn’t familiar with a brand or model, I looked it up! It’s always more helpful to hear from real cooks than from some roundup article listing the “10 Best Whatevers,” especially when the author hasn’t even tried the products—or got them free in exchange for a glowing review. As I researched, I quickly realized that my needs might not be...

Do you ever find yourself in a nostalgic mood? Maybe it’s the school programs that mark the end of the year—or maybe it’s Memorial Day, which always reminds me of camping trips when our kids were at home. Whatever the reason, these simple recipes have a way of taking me back in time with a single bite. Maybe one of them will do the same for you—or become a new favorite in your family. I hope so.

Sausage-Stuffed Steak Rolls on a serving platter

Hi Friends, This time, it’s my turn to ask you for advice. I told my husband I’d like a new crockpot (or slow cooker) for Mother’s Day, and he said, “Pick one out and order it.” Of course, I could start googling... but we all know how unreliable those top search results can be (try searching for something in your area of expertise—you’ll see what I mean). So I thought I’d ask the experts—you! I’m looking for a smaller size, around 5 to 5½ quarts. If you have one you love—and it’s new enough...
