Peanut Butter Pie XIV
A delicious, cool pie.
Turkish Kebabs
This kebab sandwich is my version of Turkish kebabs, which I made 'off the cuff' after searching unsuccessfully for a recipe online. The original sandwiches are made from meat pressed into a loaf and grilled on a rotating spit. The meat is shaved off as it gets crispy and put into a pita sandwich. My recipe calls for thin slices of meat to be marinated and then broiled to get the same effect without a huge rotating grill. Serve in a warmed pita with goat cheese, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pepperoncini.
BBQ Pork for Sandwiches
This is so easy and very tasty. Serve on buns with French fries or potato chips.
