I like Dan Reeves, have recently had heart bypass surgery, so I started looking for some healthier recipes. This was one of the first that I found and was brave enough to try, it works out great especially paired with veggies.

4 c. plain low fat yogurt
1 clove garlic - finely minced
2 T parsley - finely minced
1 t. each minced thyme, oregano, tarragon
1/2 t. natural herb and spice seasoning blend ( like Mrs. Dash )

1.) Rince a long length of cheeseloth ( about 1 ft. ) in cold water, and wring out.

2.) Place yogurt in the center, wrap cloth around it, place in a strainer or colander in a bowl. Refrigerate until thick, 8-14 hours up to 24 hours. discard whey ( liquid ), unwrap cheese.

3.) Place in a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly with garlic, parsley, herbs, seasonings.

Serve with crackers or fresh vegetables.

My favorite tailgating story was being at home in Michigan and invited to a University of Michigan home game and being surprized with a guest invitation to join the alumni assn in dedicating the new pool complex in Ann Arbor along with lunch with the assn in the pool house, great seats for the game to watch Michigan win, and the party atmosphere. LETS GO BLUE!
