Tuesday Tip for the Novice: 16

Posted by nlawler On January - 17 - 2012ADD COMMENTS

What does planning a wedding and buying a house equal? A super busy schedule! That’s what’s going on in my life, so my sincerest apologies for neglecting my blogging duties.

So, I thought that I at least owe you all a tip.

Love baked potatoes but hate those unhealthy toppings? Sour cream and butter add a lot of extra cals, so how about adding something equally delicious but far more nutritious. One word for you - Tzatziki.

My lovely fiance is the one who started this habit in our house, and he got me hooked. Tzatziki, for those of you who aren’t familiar with it, is a Greek cold yogurt sauce.  It’s made from cucumbers, garlic, salt and some variety of olive oil, pepper or other added flavors.  Sound familiar? Maybe you’ve had it on a gyro.

You can make your own, or buy it in the aisle at your local grocer where you would buy hummus.  We like the Cedar’s brand.
