Thanks to reader J.J. Sommerville for today's food funny:
A sweet little boy surprised his grandmother one morning and brought
her a cup of coffee. He made it himself and was so proud. He
anxiously waited to hear the verdict on the quality of the coffee.
The grandmother had never in her life had such a bad cup of coffee,
and as she forced down the last sip she noticed three of those little
green army guys in the bottom of the cup. She asked, "Honey why would
three little green army guys be in the bottom of my cup?" Her
grandson replied, "You know, grandma, it's like on TV. The best part
of waking up is soldiers in your cup."
This recipe is a tangy, tasty, low-fat spread or dip and is not only
great as an appetizer, but you can serve it with fresh fruit for
dessert, and in France a similar preparation is often spread on toast
as a breakfast treat. For a guilt free approach, serve it with
cucumber slices for dipping instead of chips.
Herbed Chevre Spread
6 oz (170 g) goat cheese
8 oz (225 g) non-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup (60 ml) non-fat plain yogurt
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried thyme
1 Tbs (15 ml) chopped chives
A dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until thoroughly
incorporated. Scoop the mixture into a serving bowl and refrigerate
for at least 2 hours, until chilled and slightly stiffened. Serve
with toast, crackers, or fresh raw vegetables for dipping. Makes
about 2 cups (500 ml).
