I love fish, but I like to try new flavors whenever I can. I tend to steer away from simmering anything in straight tomato sauce so this sauce is a great alternative when you want to incorporate some freshness into a dish but not overpower what you are cooking. I love artichokes, love them! Whenever I find a new way to use them, the flavor always pays off. This light fish, with the tomato wine reduction and artichoke is a winner. It reminds me of a Greek bruchetta tapenade with a hint of lemon to bring it all together. Served with fresh sauteed asparagus and garlic.

To say that I am in love with the new Oikos Greek yogurt dip would be an understatement. I love this as a dressing, as dip for chips, on gyros or fish and now my new favorite; chicken gyros. That is essentially what this is and it’s oh so simple to make. I cut down on the carbs and calories with this by grilling the chicken and by using Flat-Outs in place of the traditional pita bread. They only have 100 calories, they are low fat and are a good source of fiber. They are nice and light and I liked how it let all the flavors shine through. All of these components together made for a wonderful light gyro that was bursting with all those traditional gyro flavors.
