I attempted to make yogurt with my Mom's yogurt maker a few days ago. It tasted great, but I didn't get the texture I wanted. It was too watery with a few clumps. However, I was able to use it for alot of things anyway.
It's easy to make. You just heat up milk on the stove with the yogurt cultures.
I was supposed to use 5g culture powder for 24oz milk. I don't think I put in the whole 5g's because I didn't measure.
Also, I think slowly cooking the milk for a longer period of time while stirring should help thicken it up before you pour it into the little yogurt containers.
After pouring the milk in the containers, you just turn it on for10 hours.
Like I said, it had a really good tangy taste in the morning, but it was too watery. I didn't want it to go to waste, so here's some things we did with it.
Used it instead of milk to make smoothies. I put banana, papaya, honey & the yogurt. The yogurt taste offset the sweet taste of the other ingredients perfectly.
Put it in my chili instead of sour cream.
Mixed it with jelly and granola for breakfast.
It was really good each of these ways. So if your attempt at yogurt fails, don't dump it!
You could also make salad dressing, or spread it on sandwiches. Even use it instead of mayo for chicken or tuna salad.

Lemon Chicken Marinade
Got this recipe from cooks.com
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
1/2 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
4 large cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
Put all ingredients into a blender or food processor until liquids are fully combined and garlic is well pureed. Mixture should be opaque and fairly thick. Pour over chicken and marinade for 4-8 hours.
This has a good taste. I marinated boneless chicken breasts and broiled them in the oven. Afterward, I made salad wraps with them.
