Thursday’s Recipe – Super Easy, Home Made CrockPot Yogurt
The chef and I have been very busy in the kitchen this summer!
I have always wanted to make my own yogurt but never found a recipe that looked easy enough. Until now!!
This is the recipe I followed.
It was ridiculously simple.
Because this is unsweetened I have been using it like sour cream as well as yogurt. Over the top of grated cucumbers with lots of salt and pepper Mmmm-In smoothies, over fruit with a little maple syrup. Oh boy-a half gallon of milk’s worth of yogurt did not last long around here!!
Are there any home made yogurt experts out there that could answer some of my questions??? Like in addition to starter can I add more probiotics to make a super cultured yogurt? I am not sure if they would grow. I am also interested in making some non dairy non soy yogurts…Oh the possibilities!!

I have been making yogurt using that exact technique! The flavor is lovely but mine always turns out rather grainy and runny. Perfect for smoothies but not so great for eating out of a bowl. I’d love some ideas from more expert yogurt makers.
I can’t wait to try this! I want to try it with coconut milk. I will let you know how it turns out.
I love this idea!! So cool!!! I love the pic of “the chef.” 
I haven’t made yogurt yet, but I have been looking for recipes. I know that many recipes suggest straining yogurt, with cheese cloth if possible, but a coffe filter, cotton fabric, or paper towels are supposed to work also, in order to make it less runny.
