What a fun contest!
I love Stonyfield Farm Yogurt! In fact, back “in the day,” I worked for a PR firm in Boston assigned with the task of designing Stonyfield’s first carton. This was right around the time the company started up and was going national.
As for my recipe, here is a favorite for Mom’s Mango Smoothie featuring low-fat vanilla yogurt.
Enjoy!!
A great event! I love to cook and bake with yogurt…
Cheers,
Rosa
Oh wow. This is a freaking cool contest. I’ll have to dig through my past posts to see if I have any yogurt recipes!
Okay, here’s one: http://www.burpandslurp.com/2009/06/07/bidding-farewell-to-my-childhood/
Unfortunately, the pictures SUCK because I had a crappy camera back then! 🙁
Happy to be a part of it! 🙂
What a great contest! We are huge Stonyfield Fans!! You go girl!

This is my favorite way to use yogurt, make thick salad dressings. Its flavorful, low calorie and healthy. I love to mix mustard, honey and vinegar into low fat yogurt, and put it on top of a chopped salad.
Oikos has become a staple in my refrigerator in the past few months- I can’t get enough of it! Great contest!
I made a zucchini sauce to go on a zucchini pizza- the greek yogurt added the creaminess to the sauce I was looking for.

I’m excited to be a part of this contest. Thanks so much for putting all of this together, Marla!
Sounds like fun! I’m going to try and whip something up…. 🙂
I need to get my act together! Awesome contest.
Hey sweetie, I just got the book in the mail this weekend and I wanted to say thank you! It’s gorgeous and I was so excited looking through it — there are so many recipes I’m dying to make! 😉
What a great contest! I would like to submit my recipe for Dark Chocolate, Cranberry, & Pumpkin Yogurt Pound Cake with Pumpkin Glaze (sorry for the long name, lol!). Here’s my link to it: http://www.anediblemosaic.com/?p=1217.
Faith, that cake does have a long name, but those ingredients sound amazing!! Glad you got the Golden Door Cooks at Home cookbook & that you love it. Can’t wait to see your creations.

This is so fun! I sent you an email too, sorry for the multiple forms of communication 😉
Marla…I pretty much use yogurt on a daily basis…and always looking for more recipes. Therefore…I’ll be standing by to get a good glimpse at what comes up.
Too bad the contest isn’t open to Canadians.
In the meantime…I do want to wish everyone good luck ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia
