Turkey Burger Gyros

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I adapted this recipe from one I found when looking for turkey burger ideas. I’ve always loved gyros, and these burgers offer a lot of the same flavors but are quick and easy to make at home. Thinly slice the burgers and serve them on warmed pita bread topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and homemade tzatziki, and you have a delicious spin on a Greek favorite.

Frozen Dog Treats

My dog is obsessed with these frozen dog treats. She will do ANYTHING for one. I used to buy her doggie ice cream for a special treat, but after I found this recipe on Pinterest, I decided homemade and all-natural was the way to go — and it’s a lot cheaper.

Grilled Romaine Hearts

I try to eat salads as often as possible, but no matter how many times I change up the ingredients, I still lose interest. That was until I discovered grilled romaine hearts. Grilling the lettuce gives it a charred, slightly smoky flavor. Chop up the romaine hearts and add your favorite toppings, and you have a delicious healthy meal.
