Traditional Gyro Meat

This delicious gyro meat 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!

Chocolate Santafereño (Colombian-Style Hot Chocolate)

My Colombian grandmother (known as abuelita or "Abi" for short) made this treat for my mom and aunt when they were kids. The cheese gets gooey and stringy, and you can use a spoon to dig out little bites of salty cheese that pair perfectly with the bittersweet hot chocolate. You can use mozzarella, shredded Swiss cheese, or crumbled Oaxacan cheese.

Chicken Chop Suey

This chicken chop suey tastes very similar to the one at my favorite Chinese restaurant. There is a lot of chopping, but it's well worth the effort! We like it with noodles or vegetable fried rice.

Trout Amandine

A classic and delicious way to prepare trout.

Cajun Dirty Rice

One of our family's all-time favorites. Make it as spicy or mild as you please. It is hearty on a cold winter's night. If you are cooking for a crowd, this recipe can easily be doubled. Be sure to serve this with cornbread!
