Yoplait does have an orange crème that is super yummy to me. I can't quite replicate that yet, but I'm going to look for some orange extract and we'll see how that goes. I don't think orange marmalade would quite do it.terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-63049305238270223172017-01-26T18:52:46.119-05:002017-01-26T18:52:46.119-05:00Susie, If the yogurts you're eating have aspar...Susie, If the yogurts you're eating have aspartame or Splenda which goes by another gosh awful long silly name on labels, then you will indeed feel hungrier following the eating of them! That is the downside to both those artificial sweeteners as well as to High fructose corn syrups. If you choose NOT to make your own yogurt you might try Yoplait brands and choose one with natural sweeteners. It might be worth the extra cost. I do like the homemade though because I know it's all milk product, period. I have to get busy tomorrow and make another batch...terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-48052554416345315042017-01-26T18:49:06.919-05:002017-01-26T18:49:06.919-05:00Thank you dear Tracey!

We are still working to untangle that mess. I've just spent the past hour or so catching up on your wonderful blog and enjoying it so very much. I went all the way back to your summer reading and wanted to thank you so much for including me. I am honored. Your budget menu experiment has me very intrigued and I especially loved your post on the lentils. I've never prepared them but definitely will now that I've read about your experience...lentil tacos are a great idea. I have already decided to freeze any excess thanks to your warning of how much they multiply in volume when cooked!<br /><br />Your yogurt looks amazing! It's good to know that it wasn't difficult to make. I've always wanted to try it, but must confess that the process does intimidate me a bit. No one really eats much yogurt in our house but I was thinking it might make a nice creamy base for salad dressings in lieu of mayonnaise...and probably much better for us! Haha. <br /><br />I must thank you so much for all of your wonderful, educational and insightful posts. They are soothing, cozy, useful and so down to earth and comforting to me. Life has kept me busy with family these past few years, but I am making a little vow to myself to visit here much more often.<br /><br />Thank you for all you do.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />Tracey<br />XOX<br /><br />P.S.

It seem...Thank you for posting your yogurt recipe! It seems do-able to me. I thought making yogurt would be a more daunting project. I can't stand the tartness of store bought yogurt, and I wonder how many of those "active cultures" are inactivated by various fruit flavoring and sugar substitutes, but I believe real yogurt is a healthy food. I have another problem with store bought yogurt, and this is weird, but it seems to make me hungrier after I eat it than I had am before I eat it. I think that the tartness of the store bought bothers my stomach, and it just feels like I'm hungry. The last thing I need is a food that makes me hungrier when I eat it.<br /><br />I will have to find some jars to use for it, a cooking thermometer, and purchase plain store bought yogurt, but am looking forward to making it. When I finally get it made, I'll let you know how it turned out. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-36549131938012649182017-01-25T19:03:37.029-05:002017-01-25T19:03:37.029-05:00Want to know a draw back to homemade yogurt??
