Check out Katie's post on Homemade Yogurt Recipes (So You Can Eat It All the Time), which includes all of my suggestions for how we use yogurt in our house:

Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering what kind of yogurt maker you have?
It's a Salton, and I think I chose it because it was the cheapest one I could find. I like having a yogurt maker because it's pretty foolproof, but it's not necessary. You can use a thermos, or I think Katie's method uses a cooler. She makes a lot of yogurt though...
