Recipes

I have been meaning to post these recipes from our lunch playdate last week and have just now gotten around to it...so here goes:
Greek Salad:
The salad was just a bunch of Romaine lettuce, some sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, crumbled feta and kalamata olives. I dressed it with a little lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. REAL simple!
Sometimes when I make it for dinner, I also add grilled chicken for a more "hearty" meal.

Pita Mozz with Dips:
Pita with mozzerella and feta cheese-broiled for about 5 minutes, then cut into about 8 triangles per pita. Once again, REAL simple.

Feta Dip:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 to 1/2 pkg of crumbled feta cheese
dash of oregano
1 tsp lemon juice

Tzatziki Sauce:
1/2 cup grated English cucumber
1/4 cup Greek style yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley(flat leaf)
1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1 tsp. lemon juice
pinch of salt

Honey Bran Muffins:
(I make a batch of these about every other week...they keep really well in the fridge and are great for breakfast or snacks.)
1 1/2 cup Raisin Bran cereal
1/3 cup boiling water
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup brown sugar(packed)
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup honey

Combine cereal and boiling water in glass bowl and mix well. Let stand until cool. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Beat brown sugar, applesauce, and egg until creamy. Add the dry ingredients, cereal mixture, and milk just until moistened. Fold in additional raisins. (The texture of the batter is thin like cake batter.)
Fill 18 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray 3/4 full. Drizzle each with honey. Bake at 375 for 18 to 20 minutes. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Enjoy!
