"This cookbook celebrates the versatility of Greek yogurt as a simple and delicious addition to everyday dishes such as replacing buttermilk in baked crispy chicken fingers, or in place of some of the fat in pancakes or baked goods, dips, and sauces. The whole family will love these healthy and delicious recipes that can easily be whipped up at home!" --Missy Chase Lapine, author of The Sneaky Chef cookbooks
