Basic Yogurt Cheese Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
2 cup low or non-fat yogurt
Recipe
Preparation
Line a large strainer or colander with two or three layers of fine
cheesecloth. Spoon yogurt into the center of the cloth. Gather the
corners of the cloth and pull them up. Twist them together to form the
yogurt into a tight ball in the center of the cloth. Fasten with a
twist tie or rubber band near the ball. Tie the remaining long ends of
cheesecloth to a faucet or cupboard handle so that the whey can drip
from the cheese. Let the cheese drip out for at least 6 hours or
overnight, and be sure you have a bowl underneath to catch the
liquid. The whey is full of nutrients and can be added to soups,
sauces or vegetable dishes. Put the yogurt ball in a strainer with a
weight on top to force out even more liquid. (A
plastic bag of dry rice or beans makes a good weight.) Press down on
the weight occasionally to remove the last bit of whey. Yogurt Cheese
is ready when it is the solid consistency of cream cheese.
1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, no sugar added 1 cup Yogurt
Cheese 1/4 cup dried fruit, finely chopped Drain pineapple, reserving
2 to 3 tablespoons
juice. Combine pineapple, Yogurt Cheese and reserved juice in a
food processor or blender and process until well mixed. Stir in dried

1 cup Yogurt Cheese 1/2 cup cooked fish (like salmon) 2-3 sprigs fresh
dill, chopped OR 1/2 teaspoon dry 1-2 tablespoons grated onion

sodium, this spread is delicious made from smoked fish.)
FROM:HOLD the Fat, Sugar, & Salt by Goldie Silverman and Jacqueline
Williams copyright 1984 NOTE: My dad used to talk about making cheese
this way when he was a young man, he is now 72. Of course, it wasn't
made from yogurt, but he used to add chopped
green onions (or chives?) to the cheese and simply used it as a
spread.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some lower carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Use soy flour or soy baking mix.
When you need to use flour for baking, substitute soya flour or a bake mix like Atkins baking mix. In most cases, you may change your favorite recipes that use conventional wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
* Make low carbohydrate breadcrumbs for breadcrumb coated foods.
Whilst you can sometimes buy low carb breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by using reduced carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carb bread in a pre-heated oven on a baking tray. Once it is well toasted, whizz it in your food processor or blender. Keep in an airtight jar.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, white onions and spring onions)
The onion family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is insufficient hard medical proof at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, sterilization and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss program.
