Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Herb Yogurt Cheese


cheese/eggs, desserts, low-cal, spreads

2 cup low fat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Stir all ingredients together gently in a small bowl until blended. Line a sieve with a double layer of cheesecloth or paper towels. Place sieve over a bowl, allowing at least 2 inches between bottom of sieve and bottom of bowl. Spoon yogurt mixture into sieve and place bowl with sieve in refrigerator. Let yogurt mixture drain in refrigerator about 4 hours for soft cheese or 8 hours for firmer cheese. Yogurt can be stored covered up to 2 weeks. Serve instead of sour cream on baked potatoes or as a spread on crackers. Makes about 1 cup of cheese. 42 calories per 2 tablespoons. From: Syd's Cookbook.
