EASY GREEK YOGURT CUCUMBER SAUCE
This concoction is a result of my experimental efforts in trying to copy a favorite Greek restaurant's tzatziki sauce. Serve with gyros, pita bread, chips, or raw veggies.

EASY ROASTED CARROT GINGER SOUP WITH GREEK YOGURT AND CROUTONS
I make variations of this soup whenever I don't feel like doing a whole lot of work. It's warm and satisfying on a cold day, and is pretty good for you, too! It's one of those recipes that's very easy to play around with - roast whatever extra veggies you have around the house, make up new garnishes... Another version I enjoy is using shrimp stock and putting a few sauteed shrimp in each bowl. The recipe could easily be doubled for a larger group of people, but I find that these measurements work very well for a dinner for 2. For a vegan version, simply substitute tofu sour cream for the greek yogurt.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Dice the pepper and the carrots and halve the garlic cloves. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the veggies for 40 minutes, or until they start to get brown and caramelize. Stir once or twice during roasting.
- Put grated ginger, stock, and a glug or two of soy sauce into the food processor. Add some hot sauce if you like it spicy.
- Put all the roasted veggies into the food processor and puree until smooth.
- At this point the soup will have cooled down a bit, so you can either pop it in the microwave or put it in a pot on the stove for a few minutes to warm it up.
- Serve with a dollop of greek yogurt on top and lots of crunchy croutons!

EASY GREEK YOGURT
I have this for breakfast most mornings. The extra calcium is a plus. I add honey and granola for a delicious and filling breakfast. You can use your imagination with additions such as fresh fruit, preserves, or even chopped nuts. I have made this with flavored yogurt, but I prefer plain. You can even use the yogurt fluid (whey) instead of water in baking recipes.

Steps:
- Line a colander with coffee filters and set it in a large bowl. Add yogurt and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Place in the refrigerator for 6 hours to overnight; the fluid from the yogurt will collect in the bottom of the bowl.
- Scoop yogurt out of the coffee filters and back into the original container for storage. Discard accumulated fluid or reserve for other use.

SANDY'S EASY GREEK YOGURT SAUCE
This sauce tastes a lot like tzatziki, but it's WAY easier to make. I actually like it better than tzatziki. Very good on grilled chicken gyros. YUM!
