The Go Greek Meal

JK: As I mentioned previously, we kept this a meatless meal. I fixed the meal this evening using the following recipes from the Barefoot Contessa's Go Greek Meal:

* Easy Tzatziki with Toasted Pita Crisps
* Greek Salad
* Dinner Spanakopitas

Comments: I had never used Greek yogurt before - I liked the texture. But, I don't care for unflavored yogurt, so I'm not a good judge of this flavor. Interesting, tho. I'm also not a cucumber fan, but a little of this at a time, as a dip/spread with the pita, is rather tasty. I wouldn't make it again just for me - but for another Greek themed meal, this would definitely be on the menu.

Comments on the Greek Salad: Very good. There's quite of bit left over, so I've drained the veggies to remove the excess vinegar/oil. Don't want it to get too soggy or marinated. Yes, I'd do this one again.

Comments on the Dinner Spana- kopitas: OK I was hungry. I ate two. If I hadn't had the salad plus the Tzatziki & pita, I might have had 3 spanakopitas.

Overall, I enjoyed preparing the meal -- it just took me a lot longer than the recipes' suggested prep times. I'll blame that on my tiny kitchen with very little counter space. Also enjoyed eating the meal :-)
