Sirloin Gyros Recipe
Pin to Pinterest

A delicious Greek classic, with an update. Not only is lamb hard to find in your local grocery store, but it can be a bit pricey. If you love the flavors of Gyro but want an alternative, thin cut sirloin is a great substitute.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pound thin cut sirloin steak
1 small onion
1 tomato
1 ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsps.oregano
2 tsps. lemon juice
4 cloves garlic
½ cucumber
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pack pita bread

Directions:

Cut Sirloin Steak slightly into thin strips, going against the meat grain.
Dice onion, dice tomato, finely chop cucumber, crush garlic. Stir ingredients together.
In a gallon ziplock bag mix marinade: ½ cup greek yogurt, lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, 1 Tbsp. oregano, salt and pepper, and steaks strips well, seal bag leave to marinate overnight.
In a air tight container mix Tzatziki sauce: 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 Tbsp. oregano, 2 Tbsp. garlic, salt and pepper.
In another small bag or bowl store your tomatoes and onions. I recommend eating this no longer than the day after you prep it. The day of will prove to be more fresh.
To cook: sauté sirloin and sauce marinade in a large saucepan over medium high heat to desired done-ness.
Assemble sirloin steak, tomatoes, and onions in pita bread, top with Tzatziki sauce and enjoy!

Serve with chips, fries, or a yummy Greek potato salad.

Crock-Pot Chicken Parmesan Recipe
(Pin to Pinterest)

A healthier version of an Italian favorite. Similar flavors but skipping a few fattening steps-mainly breading and frying the chicken. One way to wake up the flavors of prepackaged foods is to doctor it up with fresh ingredients. Pop this in the slow cooker, go about your day and forget about it until dinner time.

Ingredients:

3-4 large chicken breasts
1- 24 oz. jar of spaghetti sauce (we are partial to Bertolli 5 Cheese)
½ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp. oregano
1 package fettuccine
1 -14 oz. can diced tomatoes

Preparation:

Place all ingredients into a gallon sized freezer bag, store in freezer until the morning you are going to prepare it.

Cooking Directions:

Spray Crock-Pot generously with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour contents of bag into slow cooker.
Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
Shred chicken with a fork, serve over pasta.

Add a simple side salad and bread to make this meal complete.

In another quart freezer bag combine; pineapple, ½ cup of reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch.
In a third bag placed chicken pieces-salt and pepper to season.

I like to stack my bags, including a bag of microwaveable instant rice to go with it, and wrap with a large rubber band to keep it all together.

Cooking Directions:

Sauté chicken in a large non-stick pan with 1-2 Tbsps. Olive oil (or sesame if you have on hand, but not necessary) over medium high heat until cooked almost through. Add bag of pineapple mixture, allow to simmer for 3 -5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Cinnamon Dolce Syrup Recipe
Pin to Pinterest

Love the Love Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Flavor for your Coffee? Then you will love this Cinnamon Dolce Syrup recipe fantastic over pancakes, ice cream, brownies and more. When I discovered I could make this at home, you know in my pajamas, I was ecstatic. Even better? The taste is amazing. The sweet flavor begs to be added to your hot or iced coffee drinks. Most ingredients are probably already in your pantry. Stock up on cinnamon sticks and make a triple batch or even an entire case of jars . It’s a thrifty treat too, large bottles of this syrup sell for around $20, this recipe is about $2.00 to make so that is an INSTANT 90% savings.

Cinnamon Dolce Syrup Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 ½ cups water
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
3 cinnamon sticks
½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a medium saucepan place water, sugars, cinnamon, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stir in vanilla.
Remove from heat, and remove cinnamon stick. If desired strain through a cheesecloth or coffee filter to remove excess cinnamon powder.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes and pour into container of choice.

Tuck a jar or dispenser bottle of this yummy homemade delight alongside some coffee, a pretty coffee mug, a seasonal inexpensive candle, and small package of chocolate covered espresso beans for a thoughtful and crafty gift. For storage, I love using mason jars. Tie it off with raffia and include a cinnamon stick and handmade label to finish it off. Perfect for gift exchanges, secret santa, or any coffee lover in your life.
