Wrapshr I haven't blogged about a craving for awhile and by golly it's high time I shared one with you!  Since my sister came to visit in early September I've been mad about wraps (as seen in the picture to the left).  You can put ANYTHING in them- from chicken and rice to steak and veggies, the versatility is mind boggling.  This also coincides with another recent obsession I've had with yogurt dips.  Not a day goes buy without me adding a large dollop of Tzatziki on my food.  Suz also shared a recipe with me for 'spicy yogurt' that was a specialty at the restaurant she used to work at.  I've been making a cup of it every couple of days and eating it with every kind of food you can imagine.  I even put a bunch on Macaroni and cheese the other day and it definitely added some flair, to say the least.  It would be really good to dip veggies in, or even fries.  I served it in wraps the other day mixed with steamed veggies and stir fried chicken and rice, they were deelish.
So here is the recipe:


Cactus Club Spicy Yogurt
1 Cup Plain yogurt (Higher MF= creamier dip)
1/4 Cup Mayo (I leave this out)
2 tsp Powdered Ranch Dressing mix
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (or more to taste)


Mix this all together and let sit for an hour (or more) before serving.  The Cayenne will get hotter as the dip sits.  It keeps in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Here is a recipe for delicious wraps:
OPA! wraps Ala Jessica
1/2 Cup of each (Diced):
  Green Peppers
  Tomatoes
  Red Peppers
  Cucumber
  Feta cheese (crumbled)
1 Cup of Cooked Rice
2 chicken breasts cut into small bite sized pieces and cooked with seasonings.
4-6 whole wheat tortilla rounds (any flavor will do)
Container of Tzatziki dip from local deli (or homemade if you are gifted).


lay a tortilla out and layer each ingredient (don't be cheap with the tzatziki), be sure not to add too much filling or the wrap will be impossible to roll together without destroying the tortilla.  So, Fill it, roll it, and eat it.  Easy as Pie- That's a wrap!


There you have it, new recipes to try-
I promise you will not be disappointed!!
Hugs and yogurt dip,
