This month’s recipe redux challenge was to create a healthy sheet pan meal. If you read here often, you know I don’t really do the whole main dish and side dish kind of meals associated with a lot of sheet pan recipes. I tinkered with ideas of sandwich melts and veggie burgers with fries. However, I have been crazy busy this fall and put off this photo shoot until the last minute and did not have those ingredients in the house. I had planned to make eggplant Parmesan, so I converted it to sheet pan eggplant Parmesan stacks! Continue reading

It’s official, I’m obsessed with all things gyro! I absolutely love the explosion of flavors, especially the tzatziki. I remember the first gyro I ever had at a sandwich shop in college. The sandwich maker asked if I wanted to add the tzatziki, and I didn’t know what it was at the time. He explained that it’s a creamy sauce that you will either love or hate. Well, I loved it, needless to say. My husband loves tacos, so these tempeh gyro tacos with cucumber salsa were a success! Continue reading
