Greek Yogurt Recipes

Hi everyone, I was clearing out emails earlier today and ran across a note I got from a representative of Yoplait Greek Yogurt ---- you may remember that this spring I did a blog giveaway of a gift pack that contained some coupons for packages of this brand of yogurt. I wasn't particularly even a fan of yogurt when I did the blog giveaway, but I will tell you that I really like this stuff --- I keep a container of the strawberry and usually one of the honey vanilla in my fridge for a healthy snack. Lacey from the company sent me a couple of recipes, and I am sharing them with you (and I am dying to try out the chocolate mousse one---yummy!)
