Hi everyone!

I’m so happy that Brianne asked me to share my cucumber yogurt dip recipe with you today. My name is Becca, but most of my friends call me Bec. Some of them even call me Chef Bec, because I graduated from a technical school culinary program a few years ago.

For the past 4 years, I’ve been the “chief cook and bottle washer” at It’s Yummi, where I mostly share from-scratch recipes that I’ve developed myself in my Wisconsin kitchen, or ones that I’ve adapted from magazines and trusted recipe sites. Many of the recipes, especially the newer ones, are made using very few processed ingredients. I prefer to use all-natural and organic ingredients when I can afford them. Especially when it comes to produce and proteins like beef, poultry, and other meats.

I lived most of my adult life eating convenience foods, quick boxed meals, and frozen dinners. Oh, and I ate out. A LOT. Admittedly, some of it was due to laziness, but mostly, I had never learned how to cook growing up and I was afraid of failure. I didn’t want to embarrass myself (or kill my husband!) with my bad cooking! 😉

During the recession of 2007, I found myself out of work in my mid-40’s. I had worked customer service and sales jobs most of my life and after two years of unemployment, I knew that it would be really difficult to find work again in that field, so I decided to pursue my dream of learning to cook. As soon as I finished my first semester, I knew that recipe development was my passion. I absolutely love testing recipes and finding out what works (and what doesn’t!). However, one thing remains the same… I’m still a bit lazy. I like saving time and cutting corners when I can, so the recipes I create are quick and easy to make, and absolutely none of them are gourmet or call for strange, expensive ingredients. Everything is easily accessible at most larger grocery stores. Like the ingredients for this creamy dill cucumber yogurt dip recipe!

The carbohydrate lover that I am usually tries to get the best of me when it comes to party food, so I consider it a fun challenge to come up with healthy snack and appetizer recipes. The most popular savory healthy appetizers on my website are steak fajita bell pepper sliders and a bacon chipotle cheese ball. I mean, who doesn’t love cheese and bacon?!

The most popular sweet healthy snacks by far are my recipes for low carb raspberry almond cheesecake bites and low fat chocolate chip peanut butter dip.

If you enjoy this cucumber yogurt dip recipe, I hope you’ll consider coming over to see more recipes on my website.
