How to Make Greek Yogurt

My absolute favorite thing to have for breakfast is plain yogurt with some fresh fruit and granola.  I usually buy plain yogurt and sometimes as a treat, I'll buy Greek yogurt.  Greek yogurt is thicker than normal yogurt, but it's also way more expensive.  I decided I was going to take matters into my own hands and make my own Greek yogurt.  It's significantly cheaper (just the cost of milk), you don't need a fancy machine, you can control what's in it, and I don't know why but I am very excited to be making my own yogurt.

One of my Favorite Sandwiches

In high school I used to make myself this sandwich all of the time.  It is sweet, salty, crunchy, tangy, and delicious.  It's also super simple and makes a great spread for brunch.

Basic Tomato-Basil Sauce

One great way to always be able to whip up an impressive meal last minute is to have a stash of basic tomato sauce handy.  This way you can jazz it up to make different dishes but you've already done half the work ahead of time.
