Thanks Ashley! I'm really just getting started in the whole "healthy eating" thing but I LOVE sour cream. This is so easy and will certainly be a staple in my diet.

lol i experimented with flavored yogurt such as blueberry and strawberry!

I've started doing this - I mix in about a cup and a half of strained, non-fat yogurt with ~2 cups diced cantaloupe or some other fruit. If you get non-fat yogurt and strain it, most of the lactose comes out with that funny looking water. Additionally, I've started making my own yogurt, which is very cheap and easy. You can find plenty of other videos detailing how to do it. It's really cheap and really good.

I like to use sea salt or kosher salt typically. There are healthier salts out there in health food stores but they can get expensive and I'm still a student. Many people recommend using sea salt because it has trace minerals in it. However, table salt (which has few minerals) is typically iodized, and iodine is extremely important for proper thyroid function, which few people have. Sea salt is deficient in iodine, so right now I am on the fence as to which salt is best.

Very good point...tastes good and healthy...but i still would go for a cookie because im used to the mid east foods
By: AshleyMBd. on 25 Jan 08, 12:50:32
Oh I just like the food, i find it the healthiest and most flavorful. Plus it's an easy way of getting a ton of veggies into my diet because when I make dips I like to eat it with a ton of veggies. I am a snacking kind of person, if I pick up a cookie I'm going to eat 100-150 cals easy, if i make hummus and veggies I can eat a ton more to equal the same amount of calories and feel fuller.

Hey nice videos... one question... why do you make alot of middle eastern foods...like taboluah, lebaneh, ba ba ghanoush, etc? Are you mid eastern or do u just like the food?

Ohhh i would love it if you'd share some with me, it is my favourite type of food along with Japanese. I make tabbouleh almost every week too.

GAS!

To make a cheesy spread I would use a really potent cheese (so you don't have to use as much), add about 1/4 cup cheese and 1/4 lebaneh. Use a really fine grater, mix it with the lebaneh and spread it on what ever you'd like. For example, spread it on a baked potato, pop it back in the oven for 5 min (maybe with the broiler on) keep an eye on it. The cheese would melt and get all gooey, yum. I think even better would be to make potato skins this way.

Very cool! :-)

When I lived in Detroit, I did, but since then... no. In the small town near my house, there is very little in the way of ethnic restaurants. Alas.
By: AshleyMBd. on 19 Mar 07, 00:48:52
I tried many brands before i settled on this one. I tried to go back to another plain yogurt that was low fat, but it just tasted terrible in comparison. Plus I hate chunky yogurt and this stuff is so smooth and creamy, too bad it's more expensive, but in this case you get what you pay for
By: AshleyMBd. on 19 Mar 07, 00:43:14
Urgelt, have you ever been out to a Lebanese restaurant? If not I highly recommend it, I personally feel that Lebanese cuisine is one of the healthiest ways to eat, along with Japanese cooking. It is also very vegetarian friendly since so much of the food is made from beans, whole grains, lemon, olive oil, tahini, garlic and fresh parsley.
By: AshleyMBd. on 19 Mar 07, 00:37:19
The possibilities are endless really! Search Lebaneh or maybe yogurt cheese on google and they give you other ways you can use it. And yes one of the ways I've stumbled across is to add a nut butter and it takes on that flavour. So almond would work wonderfully I bet. You can blend this with cheeses, any herbs/spices, sweeteners to make an icing , add dry soup mixes to it to make a tasty dip, etc.
By: Urgelt. on 18 Mar 07, 23:45:34
That's a new one on me, Ashley. What a great idea! Once you have the lebaneh, you can take the idea in almost any direction. Idea: how about blending a cup of lebaneh with a half-cup of organic almond butter and a quarter-cup of slivered almonds to make a crunchy, healthy alternative to peanut butter? Think that would work? I'm also curious if you would know how to combine lebaneh with, say, parmesan cheese to make a cheesy spread.
By: shebitch. on 18 Mar 07, 23:42:17
ha you eat the same yogourt I do. Awesome breakfast = lebaneh + a bit of good olive oil + oregano + toast.mmmmm
