Yogurt Cheese
from Lynne in  South Carolina surrounded by South Carolina Gamecocks, Clemson Tigers, Citadel...football is pretty big around here - big enough to attract Holtz away from Notre Dame. 

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.
