Homemade Yogurt… is SO fun to make and SO easy!  You won’t believe it!!  I remember as a kid watching my mom make yogurt- with a machine and little cups and the whole she-bang BUT, I’m afraid this is a much better way. (no offense, mom!)

In fact~ I’m eating some right now with granola on top and it’s completely fabulous 🙂

Have a wonderful Tuesday!!

Love,

Ruthie
