If you’ve ever tried a gyro, you’re either in love with tzatziki sauce (like me), or you’re totally deluded and your taste in food can’t be trusted.
Allright, I’m kidding (sort of). But it’s true that tzatziki sauce is one of the best-tasting sauces you can use to smother meat or veggies or anything else. […]
I made this wonderful salad over the weekend, and had to rush to post it here. Even my husband, who never gets excited about peas, liked this. Would he eat it every day? Nope. Would I? Heck yeah. Try it– it tastes just like summer is supposed to taste.

I was recently invited by Cath from A Blithe Palate to join The Edible Word, a new foodie book club where we’ll read and post about food-related books… and prepare the dishes they talk about.

Asian Food Friday! I love having a day of the week when I know what I’m going to post. I should make every day of the week like this… except that things would get boring, right?
