Traditional Gyro Meat
Delicious gyros made with homemade gyro meat. This is the closest I've come to emulating my favorite Mediterranean restaurant's recipe. The Greek/Lebanese-style meatloaf is sliced and served with pita bread, tzatziki, and tomatoes. The preparation time seems long, but most of it is resting time, so you can be doing other things!
Instant Pot Buckwheat Minestra
My husband and I eat soup at every supper. This is a vegan soup that I make at least 3 times a month. We love it that much. It makes a large quantity. I usually freeze half. During fall and winter, I use pumpkin or butternut squash. In the summer, I use green zucchini. I add lots of flavorful ingredients, so we never add salt.
Juneteenth 'Red Punch' Strawberry Lemonade
In Texas, Big Red is a bottled soft drink also called "red soda water." This red cream soda is often served at Juneteenth celebrations. This punch recipe is easy to make and offers a new, puckering and pleasing twist to the traditional red soda water that has been made in Texas since 1937.
