experimenting with food

i've experimented with two new recipes and they are delicious!

the first is tzatziki sauce which is a greek sauce that is served inside of pitas and gyros. after reading a few recipes, i came up with the following:

  • 1/2 cup low fat sour cream

  • 1/2 cup of fat free/plain yogurt

  • juice of two lemons and zest

  • rough chopped cilantro

  • 1 cucumber (seeded)

  • tsp of dill weed

  • handful of cooked spinached

  • diced onion and garlic


i mixed this up and served it with a pita stuffed with soy sausage and soy chicken patty (cut up and heated in a frying pan) and lettuce. Eric said this what he ate most of the time Eastern Europe, but with real meat of course! It was pretty darn tasty and the left overs have been great for snacks.

the second is i made taco "meat" last night with yves ground round (fake beef) and taco seasoning. it was darn delicious and is going to become a new staple in our home.
