[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 237800, member: 1233"] Something about the bacteria in yogurt makes it acceptable even to me (major problems with cows milk in many forms, but yogurt and cheese are OK. Even with lactaid I have problems with milk that extend past my Vit D issue). My kids have recently found that they LOVE plain yogurt with a SMALL spoonful of jelly in it, or with some blueberries or blackberries. I ran into a sale on froz blackberries - 99 cents a pound is unheard of, but I got 6 pounds because they are my dad's fave fruit. husband introduced the kids to blueberries and yogurt, and then they found the blackberries and asked if they could open a bag to try them in yogurt. It makes a MUCH healthier snack than many they could choose. Seems to satisfy their sweet teeth, and teh berries have a lot of vitamins and other good things in them. And this is 2 children who SWORE that they would NEVER eat plain yogurt, no matter what was put into it. they don't add any sugar, the berries are unsweetened, and if they use jam they use less than a teaspoon - I have watched them. I am planning to make them some yogurt pops in the freezer with plain yogurt and jam. They also like things dipped into plain yogurt mixed with honey and cinnamon. Apples are good in it, but they also like cookies, angel food cake, and other things. I do this on nights we have "fondue". Basically I make queso and serve it with various things to dip into it. Then this for dessert. Maybe 1 time a month it makes a "special" dessert that is healthier than brownies or chocolate cake or many other things they ask for. And I have a mayonaisse cake recipe that uses cocoa and can be made with low fat mayo. It is very light, very satisfying, and versatile. My mom makes it in muffin top pans then serves it with cherries and whipped cream. We worked out the calories vs. a traditional black forest cake and it is quite a bit better. because sometimes you have to have a celebration and that often means a dessert. [/QUOTE]
