Indian Spiced Yogurt Marinade

This simple marinade yields ultratender results with chicken, lamb or beef. It's terrific on cubed meat for kabobs or on larger cuts, such as steaks, chops or chicken drumsticks. Marinate the meat for at least 4 hours (or up to 24 hours for the deepest flavour). Serve your grilled marinated meat with a simple cucumber salad and some warm naan for an authentic Indian meal.

Silky Mango Yogurt Mousse

Celebrate spring with this lively dessert that's great for entertaining because of its make-ahead feature.

Lemon-Yogurt Coffee Cake

Berry Greek Yogurt Pops

These sweet-tart pops are a slam dunk with kids. A bit of seedless berry jam (you choose the flavour) adds sweetness and a rich berry colour. If you don't have ice pop moulds handy, use disposable paper cups and wooden sticks; just peel off the cups when you're ready to eat them.

Yogurt, Tahini & Turmeric Dressing

Revamp any salad with this homemade dressing, ready in a snap! This dressing is best served over crunchy carrot, coleslaw or couscous salads.

Apricot Orange Yogurt Muffins

While everyone's focus is on Christmas dinner, it's always nice to have something special for Christmas morning as well - nothing that takes too much time, mind you, but something that looks and tastes great. A muffin pleases the little and big folks who can nibble as they participate in the splendid chaos of opening stockings.

Mini Lemon Pistachio Yogurt Loaves
