Greek Chicken Gyros

Thaw all ingredients.

Heat up pan with a little olive oil. Remove chicken and veggies from marinade and sauté until cooked. Place in warm pita with yogurt sauce.

Additional Toppings:
Lettuce
Feta
Olives

Ham and Cheese Hoagies with Savory Butter

Thaw sandwhich in fridge over night.

Soften butter (I think it works best if it's "mixable" but not liquid), mix in seasoning, and spread over top of hoagie. The recipe calls for a full stick of butter, which is delicious, but you could easily use a smaller portion.

Preheat oven to 325. Tent foil over sandwhich and bake 25-35 min.

Enjoy!

Chicken Wild Rice Soup

Add 2cups water to the veggie mix, bring to a boil and simmer for 30min. Add chix and rice mixture, return to a boil and allow to boil for a couple min to thicken up. Heat through and enjoy!
