Weekend Fun with Strawberries

This weekend we went to my parents house for Father's Day.

My Grandma LOVES fresh berries.  She has passed that love down to my mom and I

She really wanted to go pick some berries. So I got online and found us a picking patch

We had such a fun day!

My dear daddy

Hope you had a great weekend!

Chicken Gyros

Chicken Gyros

I found a recipe for delicious Chicken Gyros online awhile back.

I tweaked it to make it my own

This is the result...A very wonderful warm weather dinner.

When I do my meal planning  I like to have "warm weather" meals on the list

This one tops the list!

 Chicken Marinade:

Greek Vinaigrette, Lemon Juice, Black Pepper, and Oregano

Whisk together

 Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate until ready to grill

 The Cucumber Sauce aka. Tzatziki Sauce

Sour Cream, Yogurt, Lemon Juice, Garlic, Salt, Pepper, Dill, Cucumber, Rice Vinegar, Olive Oil, Mediterranean Seasoning

 Put all the ingredients on a bowl

 Mix Well-

 I use a bowl with a nice lid.... you will want to let the sauce set for an hour or more

 Mix together some Roma Tomatoes and Feta Cheese

 MMMmmmmm

Warm the Pita Bread

 Grill and Slice the Chicken

One of my biggest fans...my MAN!!

Strawberry Freezer Jam

 Strawberry Jam

I made some Strawberry Freezer Jam this afternoon.

It always reminds me of my mom and Grandma.

Remember when using fresh berries from the patch, they bleed much worst than store bought ones.

You can find our recipe on the Sure Jell packet.

Yes, I know it has lots of sugar. It's a treat to be enjoyed in moderation :)

Happy June to you all

Blessings,
