For many of us, New Years resolutions include a vow to be more budget-conscious, especially in the kitchen. Look no further than Food52's Halfway to Dinner series for some ideas on how to save money and eat well into the new year, by making the most of leftovers and bulk items! In this week's column, Five And Spice gives six tasty recipes for one of our favorite dairy products: yogurt! Who knew that one batch could go so far?

If yogurt is a staple in your house, you might keep it for granola and smoothies -- but it is capable of so much more. Or even better: if you, like one of our Turkish friends, happen to make your own yogurt in gallon-sized quantities each week, then your stash is capable of underpinning an entire cuisine.
