This recipe I adapted from a stuffed mushroom and another stuffed zucchini recipe ... It's a great way to use those extra large zucchini that somehow appear in the garden overnight. This is not low fat, but it is totally delicious. -- posted by New NerdMom ...

This is the yoghurt cheese made in the Middle East. It is EASY to make, but there's a lot to explain! I saw other recipes on here but they call for store-bought Greek yoghurt (different flavor) or low fat store yoghurt (yuk) instead of home-made, which is very easy to do and gives far better flavor. The consistency of home-made is not as creamy as store yoghurt because it doen't have added thickeners and stabelizers in it. You're just going to drain it anyway, and the flavor's so much better

fish, low-fat, recipe

Published Aug. 9, 2010 at 3:12 p.m.

My husband said this might be the best salad I've ever made! Many of the ingredients came from my garden ... The original recipe for the dressing is from The Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, but I reduced the amount and changed the ingredients to be lower fat ... You may want to adjust the salt because I did not add anymore than what is in the fish sauce (which is pretty salty) to my recipe. -- posted by itsjustbethk ...

This will perk you up and keep you cooled off this summer! So easy to make! You may, of course, use the full fat version, or even the low-fat for a tasty compromise. Whichever one you choose, I'm sure you will make this a regular treat!Source: Eagle Brand -- posted by FLUFFSTER ...
