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.

Lemon Blueberry Pavlova
My favorite way to enjoy lemon meringue is with pavlova. The meringue base cools and dries out slowly, creating a crispy, crunchy crust on the outside which contrasts beautifully with a soft, sticky center. Topped with an intense lemon curd filling, fresh blueberries, and a homemade blueberry sauce, this dessert takes a little bit of time to make but is also simple and easy to pull off!
Bab's Bread and Butter Pickles
Try these tangy-sweet bread-and-butter pickles on a tuna sandwich or chopped in a tartar sauce for fish fillets. Serve these at your next BBQ and then send your family and friends home with a jar as a great hostess gift! This can also be made with cider vinegar.
Creamy Chocolate Cupcakes
This creamy chocolate cupcakes recipe uses Mexican vanilla and apple cider vinegar for an extra layer of flavor. They're actually really good without the filling. Instead, use the cream cheese filling as a topping.
