Feta, cucumber and spinach pita sandwiches

In a small bowl, I mixed 1 small tub of plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Cover and chill while you make the rest of the recipe.

Then take one English hothouse cucumber, take off skin and chop into thin slices. Place in a large bowl and add 1/4 cup of sun-dried tomatoes(oil packed and drained), one green onion chopped, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of olive or grape seed oil and about 6 ounces of fresh baby spinach. Mix well. toss in salt and pepper to season and gently fold in about 2/3 cup of feta cheese.

Take your Pita bread and wrap in foil.

Place in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 min. until warm.

Take the pita bread and slice in half. place a spoonful of the yogurt mixture in each half then top with the salad mixture.

Recipe makes 4 full pita's or 8 halves.

This is a great lunch! It is only about 275 calories per whole pita!

Happy eating y'all!

Who loves P.F Changs??!! I do!! Check this recipe out!

Living in a military town, I don't get to go to P.F Chang's as much as I would like. It is about an hour away. So, when I found this recipe... I was soooo excited! I have posted a copy of their lettuce wrap recipe b4(and will again). This is their Mongolian Beef and garlic noodles!!!! I KNOW!!!!!!!! YUMMY!
I have to say that these are not my recipes. they are from Ron Douglas. I changed a few things here and there, but I will post the recipe as written...

Mongolian beef:
sauce
2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
3/4 packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 lb. flank steak
1/4 cup of cornstarch
1 cup vegetable oil
2 large green onions sliced
do ahead: To make the sauce, heat the 2 teaspoons veg. oil in a med. saucepan and saute the ginger and garlic, stirring constantly. Do not let the garlic burn. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce and 1/2 cup of water. Dissolve the brown sugar by whisking vigorously. Bring the mixture to a boil and let the sauce thicken, then set it aside until ready to use. Slice the flank steak into 1/4" thick pieces. coat each piece lightly in the cornstarch and refrigerate for 10 min. Heat 1 cup veg. oil in a wok or large skillet. add the beef, working in batches, and fry until each piece is slightly golden brown. Remove to paper towels and let drain. Heat the wok oer med. heat and return all the meat to stir-fry for 1 min. add the sauce and simmer for 1 min. then add the green onions.Stir fry for another min. then transfer to a serving platter.

A great salad for lunch!

Any salad takes a few min. to cut up all of the ingredients but.... it is so well worth it. I took romaine lettuce(out of a bag b.c they were on sale 2 for 1 at the store) and filled my bowl about 1/2 way. I cut up 1/2 a cucumber, diced a portion of a red onion, added some left over salami cuts from new years eve and took a carrot and peeled it with a peeler. I added some salt, pepper and oregano and topped with Ken's light caesar dressing. Yummy! Happy healthy eating y'all!
