What's more fun than making yogurt? Exploring all the ways to use your creation.

Last night's dinner was this delectable Tandoori-Style Chicken and Mangoes. Marinating in yogurt gives a nice crust to the grilled chicken, although you should be wary of those flames.

For good measure, I put some yogurt on my rice, a cool complement to a savory grain.

Making yogurt is surprisingly simple. With only a bit of stirring and preparation, you have a healthy creation with no additives at a fraction of the cost of store-bought varieties.

This is a great project to do with the kids or on a late Sunday afternoon.
