Yes, it's a dip. I take about 1/3 cup with 2 mini pitas or 1/2 large pita and enjoy. It's about a 150 calorie snack. Very filling. I also put a small schmear on a piece of fish last night.... oh so good!
Tzatziki:
1 pound (1 pint) plain yogurt (whole milk or low fat)
1 cucumber, unpeeled and seeded
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh dill
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Place the yogurt in a cheesecloth or paper towel-lined sieve and set it over a bowl. Grate the cucumber and toss it with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt; place it in another sieve, and set it over another bowl. Place both bowls in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours so the yogurt and cucumber can drain.
Transfer the thickened yogurt to a large bowl. Squeeze as much liquid from the cucumber as you can and add the cucumber to the yogurt. Mix in the sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. You can serve it immediately, but I prefer to allow the tzatziki to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours for the flavors to blend. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Dismom- Thanks, I'm usually lurking, but trying to post more!

Me and the boys in WDW! Oh and I am in the middle!
I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
Well I am off to take the kids to art,go to the gym,pick up dinner for DH and me,pick the kids up from church and then collapse.
Does anyone have any suggestions for healthy easy-to-take snacks/meals?If I wait until I get home at 8:00 to eat then I am starved.I have been cooking Lean pockets and taking them with me but want something different.
You guys must be tired from all the chatting you did yesterday! I am still at work, but I decided to check in so I wouldn't be overwhelmed by 20 pages after church tonight!
DS did have bronchitis. I am so glad we went to the dr. today. Pneumonia in WDW would not have been fun. Last year my DD had an ear infection - very expensive at Disney and not fun! DS will be home the next 2 days doing breathing treatments every 4 hours. But should be better by Friday.
Have a great rest of the afternoon.
Oh, at lunch today I had 1/2 of a salad at O'Charleys (they don't list half salads, but you can request one - perfect size). However, I did share a piece of caramel pie with friend.

MrGrumpydisneyBananaManGuy> Question... for anyone with the background knowledge (I have it rolling around my fuzzy brain somewhere.. )
When should you eat 1/2 hour before or after a workout, as I know your muscles need the fuel to burn... water for to prevent dehydration, but isnt there a protein rule somewhere, to eat a small amount of protien??? ( I remember this somewhere and try and grab a handful of almonds, or a small amount of chicken, or even tuna... drat my brain and CRS!!! (ie Cant Remember S... STUFF!!)
Is that you Varouka Salt?
I want an oompaloompa, and I want it NOW! ((Stomp))!
Hey, I'm making Sweet Potato Fries/Fires but without the parmessan cheese. I ran out. DOH! (slapping forhead)
Cant wait for the BBQ pizza- I always have ready grilled, sliced chicken.
I graze alot so I have to be careful. I do better with 3 meals (largest in the AM) and at least 2 small snacks. My biggest habbit to change is the water not diet Pepsi and fun exercise (which I've done a few days in a row).
SCHWEEET I didn't think anyone got the ref. Should have know UTM got it...
I made the seet potato fries tonight and the lil woman made turkey burgers. Diet might be getting to me or it is self fulfilling prophecy because I acted like a putz at dinner and went off on everyone
Hello everyone!! My name is Sandy. I was born and raised in NW Indiana, but my family is from Texas, so I often claim I left my heart in Texas. DH and I went to High School in Portage, my parents moved to Valparaiso, but I met dh when I went back to visit Portage... and the rest is history!! I used to witness door to door for the Lord back in High School, I've always had a strong faith, I believe in prayers and miracles!! DH and I started dating in 1977, got married in 1981... celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary in Disney this past September!!
We have been blessed with 3 "Angels" . DS 21, DS 18, DD 10!! I graduated from BALL STATE!! (a little after David Letterman, but he has made great contributions to Ball U!!) with a BS in EL ED. I stopped teaching after my first miscarriage, then when DS was diagnosed, I thought I should follow a different path!! DH graduated from Rose Hulman, a self proclaimed GEEK - electrical engineering, because in the old days they didnt have Computer majors - but he is a software engineer!!!
DH and I became involved with Boy Scouts when the boys did - they are now Eagle Scouts, and dh and I are Woodbadge Trained!! (dh 3 beader!!) I am trying to learn to scrapbook, dd and I just learned to knit, I love to read books, mostly kids books, and of course when I need to escape I read Regency Romance novels!! (they are short, easy, non thinking books, ALL with happy endings!!) My first trip to Disney was '75, then in '77... When dh and I got married, I thought to Honeymoon in Disney... took 25 years!! We got hooked at the Food and Wine festival, and did this twice... so far!!

Right now am fighting the urge to strip nekkid as I am itching all over and my skin is crawling....eeeuuuuuwwwww

I made it "private" in the sense that I dont want the yahoo surfers to find it, the WISH group - I dont think any of us have any problems with - we post knowing that there are 3X's the amount of lookseeys than posters...
BTW - - I'm "angelmum3" at yahoo... and every other message board (see I really didnt intend to stick around these boards... and thought my username HAD to be disney related... eeyore = "thanks for noticing me")
We need to find a cheap dog stroller... the yorkie is too little to keep up (plus she has bad knees) so I carry her in a pink mess backpack that I wear in the front... and the sheltie is getting a little old and likes to take frequent rest breaks... DD usually ends up carrying her and she is a chunk... the dog is a chunk, not the daughter
I've been bringing clementines with me.
