Greek Cucumber Dill Sauce or Dip (Tzatziki Sauce)

Greek Yogurt Cucumber Dill Sauce

Tzatziki sauce is a Greek cucumber sauce served with meat or used as a dip. Tzatziki is primarily made of strained yogurt, in this case, Chobani Greek Non-Fat Yogurt. It’s gluten-free! They sent me some coupons for a few free yogurts so that I can create a tailgating recipe for them. Though this sauce is Greek, you can use it with other cultural foods such as saucy Indian dishes, as a dip with naan (Indian flatbread), on enchiladas, and as a dip with veggies as a snack. For authentic Greek dishes use as a sauce for gyros, or as a dressing for cucumber salad or other Greek salads. Gyros are perfect for tailgating.

Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

Fall is my favorite time of year. It follows high temperatures, often over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s Central California living. We live about 25 miles south of the south entrance of Yosemite. Today was in the low 90s, but the overcast, gray skies inspired this gluten free lasagna soup. It is a perfect way to use up broken pieces of uncooked lasagna noodles. It is also a wonderful way to use leftover ricotta cheese. I had an entire tub that was about to go bad. Continue reading “Gluten Free Lasagna Soup”

Gluten Free Marinara Sauce Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Marinara Sauce

There are a couple of recipes that I make for my husband (not for me- I’m allergic to tomatoes) that I should use marinara sauce instead of bolognese (meat) sauce. I usually have a freezer full of bolognese sauce and tend to use it because it’s there, the meat makes it flavorful, and he enjoys it. However, I’m tired of fishing out all of the meat to use it in my Chicken Parmesan Recipe. So, I began experimenting this week with a new, flavorful marinara sauce. I’ve come to the conclusion that adding wine makes the the most flavorful marinara. I hope you enjoy this gluten free marinara sauce recipe.
