greek yogurt has always been a bit of curiousity to me. whenever i see it in recipes it always says "do not substitute!"... and i always do. hahaha... talk about a rebel without a cause huh? the main reason is that i almost always have regular yogurt in the fridge and it always seemed like a waste to make an extra trip in search of a single ingredient.

so when i came across a personal sized greek yogurt while perusing the grocery outlet the other day (for $.50!) i figured i'd give it a try. i have to say that i was pretty impressed. it was super smooth and creamy. kind of like sour cream but without the sourness. i guess i'm not really good with the descriptions because even rereading my own statement it doesn't sound that appealing! but trust me it is. unfortunately it was honey flavored and i would have preferred to try out the plain version but i would have to say that i would purchase it again. i still don't know about heading out to the store in search of a single ingredient... but if i need two things then i think i'll get it! =)

have any of you all tried it before? what did you use it for?
