Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki
I knew it would be a busy week and no time for blogging. But, I'm here now. I am officially down 5.1 pounds in 27 days. I'll admit though, I didn't eat too healthy this weekend. Working to get back on track tomorrow :) Last week we made this recipe - Greek Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki. It was an interesting one because I've never made my own Gyros before. Here is the link to the original recipe:
