Classic Greek Tzatziki Sauce

On September 6, 2011, in Cooking & Baking, Lifestyle, by Wilfried F. Voss

Tzatziki is usually made with yogurt, but if you prefer not to use yogurt you may substitute it for sour cream. Keep in mind that the yogurt needs to strain for about 8 to 10 hours, so it is best to start the preparation the day before you want to serve it. Some tzatziki recipes call for a bit of chopped dill or mint.

On May 9, 2011, in Lifestyle, Susan M. Voss, What's Cooking Today, by Susan M. Voss

Winter in New England demands a certain kind of meal on a snowy night. I have to admit that soup is one of my favorites. Tonight was beef stew. Soft vegetables, tender beef, and a delicious broth. Add to that some (gluten free) buttermilk biscuits (recipe to come soon), and it was a warm, comforting meal for all of us!

Another Sunday Menu!

On May 3, 2011, in Susan M. Voss, What's Cooking Today, by Susan M. Voss

I love Sunday dinner. We try to make it special – we eat in the dining room, there’s nice music on the stereo, sometimes there’s a nice bottle of wine… And I try to make a really special meal. This week was a beef roast. I marinated it in a simple marinade then laid it on top of a bed of chunked potatoes and sliced carrots covered with a beef broth with some tomato paste.
