mrssalvo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,859 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2005	Ok, so with the big fage rage in WWT I thought it would be fun to start a thread were we could post our favorite fage recipes/mix in's. I just bought some today and have yet to try it but would love to here what you all love the best.. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

I haven't posted in the WWT lately (it has been a busy few weeks) ~ but I have read all about the Fage and would love to try it. Since you're local to me, curious where you found it? Wild Oats?

ellaila Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,631 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/7/2006	Haha I'm boring but I looooove my 2% Fage with two splendas and some honey on it for breakfast! I used to not even like honey at all, but now b/c of this little concoction, I'm hooked! I'm curious about other additions to it -- Mara's PB cup creation sounds pretty darn good! We've also eaten it for dessert -- sweetened up with splenda and honey and then dip fresh strawberries in it. Delish!!

Jossyw Rough Rock Total Posts: 33 Last Post: 8/30/2007 Member Since: 5/8/2006	I use the Trader Joes brand equivalent to Fage - It's great as a dessert with honey, warm toasted nuts, and dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, cherries, etc) I also use it in place of sour cream or heavy cream in sauces. It makes them taste really creamy and decadent without the fat!

TravelingGal Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,337 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/29/2004	Just honey Or honey and banana Or my latest fave is 1 to 1.5 tbs (50-75 cals) of Knott's boysenberry preserves. No sugar or splenda needed. SO good. _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

I think they make it in 0% fat plain, 2%, and full fat and I think they also make some flavors as well. I've only tried the 0% and 2% plain though - both were good!

OMG, I was always looking for Fage and my husband was buying it the whole time!!! He bought the peach and other flavors. I kept looking at Trader Joe's and I almost asked for it; I never made the connection. I should of tried it the last time my husband bought. I still can't believe it. Crazy! If I never read this thread I would never find it and never knew we had it in our house a few times recently. LOL!

AmberGretchen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,046 Last Post: 11/11/2009 Member Since: 1/6/2005	poptart - the texture of fage is what makes it so yummy. I love the 2% - so creamy!! I'm going to have to get more adventurous based on this thread - I've just been doing 1.5 packets of Splenda plus some vanilla extract (which has the advantage of not adding any calories ). But the most important part of the Fage experience is the (very small) fingerful I give our 9-month-old ragdoll kitten (some of you may remember Oliver - he got his own thread when we got him, though he's a lot larger now) - he specifically and unfailingly recognizes the sound of foil coming off a fage container in the kitchen and he will come and beg for it until he gets a little - he eats it right off my finger. He's even learned to stand up on his hind legs and lean his front legs against the cabinets, just to make sure I give him some!

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,924 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	well it is really just greek yogurt. fage is the brand name. the only places that carry it out here are whole foods and trader joes. i typically get this other greek yogurt for cooking with (aka mixing with tandoori paste or with dijon for a marinade) with but when i tried to eat it like i do Fage, it was SOO not the same, the taste was really sour and kinda gross. so i don't deviate from fage-love now for my treats...and i still use the other brand for cooking. i don't mind that Fage is a little more pricey. it somehow makes me savor it more! and yes TG the bottom of the fage cup is sad. i sometimes get the bigger container and scoop it out of there into a glass parfait dish and then i am practically licking the glass at the end. greg always gives me weird looks. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

ellaila Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,631 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/7/2006	Mara, I'm scared to get the bigger container, because I'd probably eat it all at once!! And yes, TG, I do feel kind of sad too when I reach the end of a container. I run that spoon into every nook and cranny to get every last little scoop out! Out of curiosity, what does it cost you on the West Coast for it? Here (Boston), it's the same at TJs and WF: $1.69 for the smaller container.

TravelingGal Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,337 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/29/2004	Haha Mara, I have this hilarious image of you in mid-lick looking sheepishly at Greg while he looks at you all weird. Ellaila, I use a smaller spoon...makes it last longer and easier to get into those nooks and crannies! I have tried TJ's "greek style" yogurt because it is so much cheaper, but it is not the same. In fact, in that link that marvel posted, there's a faq page that tells you the difference between greek yogurt and greek style, and I find it quite true. Fage is worth the money because when I buy the big TJs container, I found I wasted most of it. I never waste a Fage! Oh, and I think they are 1.89 here...pricey. _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

IndieJones Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,216 Last Post: 4/27/2009 Member Since: 12/1/2005	Huh, I just bought some fat-free farge today! TJ's was using greek yougurt to make strawberry parfaits samples, and this was the only plain fat free greek yogurt they had. Sounds like it'll be perfect in my new favorite breakfast. Plain yogurt, strawberries or fresh strawberry juice, honey, and a sprinkle of granola. We got a juicer for a wedding present so I've been trying to find new ways to use it. ************************ Don't Worry, Be Happy!
