I had to do a Sam’s Club run for work yesterday morning so I had a little bit of extra time before I had to leave the house. I had gyros on the menu for dinner last night. My non-meat eating daughter LOVES gyros and my store routinely sells it in the deli for $5.99 a pound with tzatziki sauce so it’s quite the bargain dinner. I used this naan recipe and wanted it to rise on the counter for a few hours and then since Hannah was home I asked her to throw it in the fridge for the afternoon because there is milk and yogurt in the dough. The dough came together literally in less then 5 minutes.
When I was pulling into Sam’s Club I saw their gas sign so I filled up – I had 150 miles left before being empty but I couldn’t pass up this price – can’t remember the last time I paid less than $2 a gallon!
So I was pretty hungry by the time I got to work. I made more avocado egg toast on my homemade rosemary bread with some fruit. I could literally eat this every day and not get sick of it.
Since Hannah was off of work and Jacob didn’t work until later in the afternoon, they met me out for lunch. I love that they don’t mind hanging out with me even though we live together. We went to wok n fire – one of my favorite places to eat.
I got the red curry Thai steak and it is just the right balance of flavorful spicy. And I always forget how much I love cucumber water that they have there.
I ended up hitting the gym after work since I didn’t walk at lunch – it was so rainy and gross out though. Yesterday was legs – but guess what? I opted to do burpees! I know – one of the exercises was called a frog walk and if you look that up, you’ll know why I didn’t do that at the gym and did burpees instead. But let me tell you, after doing my third round (30) burpees I was questioning my decision! I was huffing and puffing and it’s just another reminder that I haven’t been pushing myself at the gym lately. And blog reader Kris sent me this Lulu Lemon headband and I love it – my bangs stay out of my face! I thought my Momma would like to see that.
So when I got home from the gym I realized that Hannah forgot to put the pita dough in the fridge. Nertz. But I figured what the hell and rolled them out and pan fried them in a bit of olive oil and sesame seeds. I cooked up just six last night and stuck the dough in the fridge – it will last about a week. Look at those pillows of goodness!
I had to laugh at this picture of dinner though – first off, my knife skillz need some improvement, but I literally didn’t even notice the giant piece of spinach in the front. Hannah has asked that we have this for dinner at least once a week. #winner
I’ll send you off with a cute picture of Roman – I love how cute he is! I wish he would stay this size forever
Make it a great day!
Your exercise routine is amazing. There is no way I could make it through that right now. Maybe someday.
Which grocery store sells gyro meat? I don’t think any of the grocery stores near here do. I know Aldi has a kit, but it would be nice to have somewhere to buy just a pound of the meat. I have made it myself successfully three times, but it’s a lot of work.
I go to Joseph’s Market in Crystal Lake – they sell it sliced in the deli – if you buy a pound of it, they’ll throw in the tzatziki – it is a bit greasy, but I pour off the grease and try to pat the meat with paper towels – I just love that it’s a meal all of us can eat without any modifications!
Burpees definitely require a headband! Love it.
I need to give my son your recipe for naan bread. It’s one of his favorites. One more question why is your gas in Illinois where you have a higher gas tax cheaper than in my town????
I love the headband – thanks Kris! I have no idea – I would think that your gas would be cheaper!
Awww, that little puppy paw pic is so cute!
Your dinner looks great. I’m with Hannah – that could be a weekly meal for me, too.
Our Sam’s Club has gas for $1.75/gallon. Every time we drive by, I tell Jeff we need to top off the tank, LOL!
I don’t know how long the low gas prices will last, but I am thankful for it now 😀
Roman looks smaller than Declan!
He probably is – he’s about 8 pounds! But he LOVES to eat – Hannah and Jacob have to pick up Rummy’s bowl otherwise he’ll eat all of his food and then just go to Rummy’s and eat what’s left!
Oh yum that curry dish looks delicious!
And Roman …. love, love, love.
He’s totally growing on me Fran – his face is so damn cute!!
Gyros – yum! I can see why Hannah would want to have this for dinner at least once a week! The naan looks amazing! I know the kid would love it!
And so simple since I made the dough before work and I was able to quickly cook them off when I got home 😀
