Shawarma is a Levantine Arab meat preparation, where meat is placed on a spit and may be grilled for as long as a day. Shawarma can be served with various toppings and vegetables such as tahini, hummus, amba, or pickled cucumbers. It is mostly wrapped in pita bread. As most of us don't have a rotating spit at homes, this recipe is cooked on the stovetop. After all, in this fast life who is gonna wait for a whole day?

Spiced Cranberry Sauce
This spiced cranberry sauce recipe is easy to make and is always a huge hit! I make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's tart and spicy, and the spices just add to the overall holiday feel of the dish.
Smitty's Low-Carb Chili
Finding variety can be brutal when on a low-carb diet! I miss rich stews and soups, particularly hearty and spicy ones, while trying to remain in ketosis. Threw this chili together out of some leftover pork loin and cauliflower rice, and was thrilled with the result. The cauliflower is for texture only - it has little effect on the taste.
Chocolate Cream Filled Cookies
My girlfriends at work just loved them and wanted the recipe for them. I had to make 10 copies!
