Learn how to make quick and easy yogurt dishes for your family with Yogurt: 17 Recipes for Easy Family Meals. Everyone loves to eat yogurt and now you can make a variety of easy recipes, including soups, salads, desserts, breakfast, side dishes, and main dishes. Author Dana Carpender provides an introduction, interesting facts, nutritional info, and how to choose and prepare, before showing you what you can do with this healthy and nutritional food.
Excerpt from the Book:
Yogurt is a cultured milk made by introducing bacteria to milk, then incubating it. The bacteria feed on the milk sugar, producing lactic acid, and converting the milk to yogurt. These bacteria give yogurt its thick texture and tangy flavor, not to mention some important health benefits
Not all bacteria are bad for you. Healthy humans have a hundred trillion bacteria in their guts – about ten times as many bacteria as there are cells in the human body! Those “gut flora” are not making us sick. Instead, the right bacteria help us digest food, process nutrients, strengthen our immune systems, and protect us from pathogens. With the help of those hard-working bacteria, a cup of yogurt per day can promote bone health, boost your immune system, and help keep blood pressure low, while satisfying hunger and tasting great.

About the Author:
Best-selling author Dana Carpender was startled to discover that limiting her carbohydrate intake not only helped her control her weight, but produced the health and vitality a low fat diet had promised but never delivered. Years later, she laughs at people who say “You can’t eat that way long-term.” Her cookbooks are the result of her realization that the key to permanent dietary change is the answer to the age-old question, “What’s for supper?” She is the author of six cookbooks, including the national bestseller 500 Low-Carb Recipes. She is also the author of 500 Paleo Recipes, and How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds. Her books have sold over a million copies worldwide. Previously a syndicated national columnist, Dana is now managing editor of CarbSmart.com, and tries to keep up with her blog at HoldTheToast.com. Dana lives in Bloomington, Indiana with her husband and a menagerie of pets, all of whom are well and healthily fed.
