our favorite sister girl is five months.

Our sweetest sister is already FIVE MONTHS OLD today. She loves to chew on her little fists,(which makes her head look infinitely bigger, ha) she chatters away to everyone who will listen, she adores her enthusiastic brothers, she only giggles for her Papa and she loves to snuggle with fuzzy blankets.  She is a complete delight.  We love you baby Annalise.

Crock pot chicken gyros love.

This recipe is my new favorite. It's fast, it's easy, it's healthy. Yep. Favorite. 

Bear in mind, the original recipe my aunt shared with me called for boneless beef and it's delicious that way too. 

Chicken Gyros

2 lbs. chicken breast sliced 1/4 in. thick

(I thawed it just enough to be able to cut through it easily) 

1/4 cup olive oil

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 Tbsp. minced garlic

1 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

Greek Pita Flat bread 

Directions:

 In a mixing bowl, mix oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add chicken and stir to coat. Pour chicken and mixture in crock pot. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, until meat is tender. I used a knife and fork at this time to shred the chicken. It fell apart. :) 

Warm pitas in pan spritzed with olive oil if you'd like. 

Yogurt-Dill Sauce

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1Tbsp. dill (heaping)

 1/4 tsp   salt.

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

We LOVE our dill sauce so next time I'd probably make a 1.5 batch of it. 

Serve with any or all of the following toppings. The dill sauce is a MUST. (This IS Greek food for heaven sake.)

Diced cucumbers

Diced tomatoes

Feta Cheese 

Diced red onion
