The New Greek God In Town...Yogurt!

Greek yogurt is the talk of the town, people. With 22g of Protein per cup, why wouldn't it be?! Eat it like any old yogurt adding fruit or flavoring with honey and brown sugar.........OR..........use it as a magical substitute!
Look for recipes that call for sour cream (usually dips and such) and make the switcheroo!
