As Promised

I promised a couple friends i would post the following..and i thought you may want to see too :)

My Gyro Recipe!
Well, its kinda a conglomeration, i will try to explain best i can!
I first made my own homemade greek yogurt..but i am sure you can use store bought no problem!
Click here for Tzatziki Sauce recipe

My only adaptation to it, i do not puree the cucumber, i find it makes a really watery sauce, instead i Finally chop it, salt it and drain it in a cheese cloth to get all the access moister out. and then add to the recipe, trust me, do this instead it turns out much better.

My next thing i do is marinate my chicken tenderloins in Italian dressing overnight (i am sure you can use Caesar, but i like the sweetness of Italian opposed to the tang of Caesar) Fry chicken along with onions and peppers...

I chop up peppers and onions and add chicken, put a little extra virgin olive oil in a fry pan, fry them for a lil bit, and then add a little less than a tsp of sugar to the mix and fry a little longer. this sweetens the onions and caramelizes them, this is what takes the recipe over the top!
Of course you must have feta cheese and i like to use the Arnold's flat bread as my pita bread, i bought mine at (wal mart)    pile all ingredients in the lightly toasted (i just do that in the fry pan) flat bread and enjoy!





One of many pages of my binder
My next thing to post is...My Recipe Binder is almost done!!!! yay! I just have to buy some more inserts and i will be done, well, i am sure i will never be completely done, seeing i will always be adding new recipes but you get the idea,

This is a binder divider, you can not see but it has a clear pocket to put "to be sorted" recipes in the proper category

My dividers are labeled as followed, poultry main dishes, non poultry main dishes, sides, appetizers, and misc (marinades, jelly's punches etc, this work for me the best) its over simplified and only the category's i use most
My printed out recipes received hole reinforcers

Allot of work, but so happy it is done!!!
