Menu Planning

So in an effort to not go to the store every day, I have decided to make a dinner menu. This week went really well. I love the website www.mealsmatter.org. I found the BEST gyro recipe!!! So Dan made them on Wednesday and we had a wonderful dinner even though Dan couldn't taste them. They tasted similar to Olga's. My brother Greg has mastered their pita recipe. I will have to get it and try. But here is the recipe for the gyros. It is so simple, and good enjoy!

Ground Beef Gyros

3/4 lb. Extra lean ground beef, cooked and drained
3/4 c. Plain low fat yogurt
1/4 c. Cucumber, finley chopped- we love to use English/Hot House Cucumbers
1/2 tsp. Dill Weed
1 TBSP Oil
1 Medium onion, sliced into rings
1 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder (Dan used fresh garlic)
1/4 tsp. Dried oregano, crushed
6 Pita bread, warmed
1 small tomato, chopped

Combine yogurt, cucumber and dill weed. Cover and refrigerate. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 minutes. Add onions, cook for 2 mintues, stirring occasionally. Add beef, garlic and oregano; cook 4 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Stuff beef mixture in warmed pita breads and serve with yogurt sauce and tomatoes.

YUMMY!!!
