OH! sorry, lets get back to the dish tonight shall we? So Ma picked this dish out of her Taste Of Home magazine and when she showed it to me I was in and not just because it has feta cheese in it...well maybe a little bit ha that AND...we've never done gyro's before on the blog. Weird but true, so stick around it's gonna be good!
Here's what you'll need:
Beef & Spinach Gyros Recipe
Prep/Total Time: 25 min. Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients:
*1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
*1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
*6 green onions, chopped
*1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
*2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning, divided
*1 large tomato, chopped
*1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free plain yogurt
*1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
*6 pita breads (6 inches), halved *12 lettuce leaves
*1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the spinach, onions, olives and 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper; heat through. Stir in tomato; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise and remaining lemon-pepper. Line pita halves with lettuce; fill with beef mixture and feta cheese. Serve with yogurt sauce.
SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. Loved the sauce, the pita's, and the freshness of the gyro. I just may make this again later this week.
Tid Bits: None tonight guys
Ma's Spot: I thought tonight's dinner was excellent. I thought the taste of the yogurt with the mayo and the seasoning were perfect. I will definitely be making this again. Besides the option of using a pita pockets I think I'll try out tortilla wraps. I have to be honest with you guys, I really cannot stand feta cheese so in place of it I used mozerella. So if you're like me and you can't stand the taste of feta cheese then try out the mozerella with it.
*SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which are not. Let's get to this week's pick:
* 4 points per bar For the Ritz Chocolate Peanut Butter Crackerfuls:
* 4 Points per bar
Dinah: So tonight to jazz things up we decided to try out 2...yes count them TWO! snacks for snack corner. While yours truly has a peanut allergy and cannot participate in the Ritz Chocolate Peanut Butter Crackerfuls I went for the Ritz Four Cheese Crackerfuls and left the other for Ma to try. I'm not a Ritz girl by any means. Look, I get it they're buttery and crunchy but these crackers rub me the wrong way. They seem like they mock the other crackers at the store and whenever you ask anyone about their favorite cracker 9 times out of 10 they say Ritz. Pisses me off lol, come on! there are sooooo many other crackers that are way better than that box of buttery mockery. Anywho, I digress and I cannot even believe I am saying this, these are pretty good. Filling, light, and not too many points. I enjoyed the fluffy cheese center the most. Still, just because I liked these I wouldn't be changing my favorite crackers anytime soon. Wheat Thins for the win!
Ma: Tonight while Dinah tried the four cheese crackers I was in charge of tasting the chocolate peanut butter crakers. Ritz crackers are my very favorite cracker in the whole world. It was a no brainer for me when you put together Ritz crackers and chocolate/peanut butter. It was delish! and I'm not just saying that because of my love for Ritz. The ratio between peanut butter/chocolate/cracker was right on point. So next time you're in the store pick these up. It's a great snack to pack in your work lunch bag.
That's all folks! I have a glass of my favorite wine and a new GLEE episode waiting for me so we'll see you all back here next week! As your blog mistress I have been known to pull recipes out of left field and next week has to be the craziest one we've ever done. What? Did you expect something else from yours truly? HA! no. lol Have a great week guys!
