Culinary adventures

Last week Mark and I made Chicken Gyros at home. I adapted the recipe from one I found on epicurious.com. We bought a rotisserie chicken, lettuce, and tomatoes from Sam's, and tzatziki and pita from Trader Joe's. We chopped up the white meat from the chicken, threw everything else together on the warmed pita bread, and feasted! Definitely a recipe to repeat; it was very easy.

I made lamb chops from Trader Joe's a few nights ago, but Mark did not enjoy it. I thought it was okay, especially with leftover tzatziki sauce on top. But alas, lamb is now on our "foods to avoid" list. However, we did discover a new great food from TJ's - Chicken Curry Sticks. Just pop them in the oven and voila!, crispy snack goodness.

Our most recent new taste sensation with this morning! A few weeks ago I bought a package of flaxseed because I had read so many good things about it. This morning I finally opened up the package and added the flaxseed to my oatmeal, which I share with Taylor. We both loved it! It added a nutty flavor and tons of great health benefits. I plan to add this to our meals more often!

Tonight for dinner I'll repeat the broccoli pasta recipe from last week, using different noodles (whatever we happen to have around). Tomorrow I plan on making Korean B.B.Q. Beef from Trader Joe's.
