Tzatziki with Dill Pollen
I love tzatziki, it has always been a favorite. Whether as a dip for crunchy vegetables or counterpoint to spicy grilled meats, the combination brings together creamy goodness from Greek yogurt and cooling cucumber alongside a puckery pow from lemon and garlic for a delightful contrast. But it wouldn't be tzatziki without the dill, and we've punched up the flavor here with the addition of dill pollen and our premium Garlic Salt.This version of the classic dip and spread was born, as so many wonderful recipes are, when I was short on ingredients and didn't have fresh dill or garlic in the house. I subbed in the dill pollen and garlic salt in a pinch and voila! The tzatziki bloomed with loads of intensity. Now I include them every time, using both fresh dill and the pollen, fresh garlic and the salt. It creates delightful dance party on the palate. Enjoy!

Lentil Loaf with Awesome Sauce
I've made this recipe for lentil loaf a million times. It is a go-to dish that keeps coming back around. Why? It's true the loaf is moist and flavorful, healthy, and satisfying. It's true that you can make it with just about any assortment of seasonal vegetables and spices. But the real reason is that the sauce is AWESOME. Seriously. For a family that loves to experiment with new dishes, the fact that we keep coming back to this recipe is a testament to its greatness.Credit goes to The Simple Veganista and her perfectly proportioned recipe for The Ultimate Vegetable Lentil Loaf. We've barely adapted it here. For our tastes, the secret is in the sauce, a simple blend of balsamic vinegar, ketchup and maple syrup, that pairs perfectly with all manner of flavors in the loaf. For this recipe I made it with New Mexico Chili Powder and our new Garlic Salt, but Sassy Steak Spice and Creole Seasoning also work well.
