Souvlaki

Image
 Talk about a great dish?  It's not often we find a recipe that is so tasty and easy to make that hit's it out of the park as this one most certainly did.   Souvlaki, marinated meat grilled on a skewer, is a Greek fast food. Pork is traditionally used to make the dish as we did with this recipe , but chicken, lamb, and beef are also common. You can enjoy souvlaki straight off the skewer as a kebab , in a warm pita with your favorite toppings, or over a bed of fresh veggies. **It's important to remember that this involves about a 3 to 4 hour marinating time in the refrigerator so plan your time well. Want to watch this Souvlaki being made in a 30 minute video?  https://youtu.be/rdRvS9Vl6lY Ingredients: 1/2 cup cold pressed olive oil 1/2 cup soy sauce 1 medium lemon, juiced 3 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon oregano 3 pound pork tenderloin, cut into "1 inch" (approximate) cubes 2 medium onions cut into 1 inch pieces 3 bell peppers cut into 1 inch pieces Skewer...

Quiche Jim

 I've not tried this recipe before, not that I'm aware of, but I often buy Quiche Lorraine or spinach and cheese type of quiche, and I really liked it.  So I checked the recipes for Quiche Lorraine on different recipe sites and decided to modify them a little bit and see if it tasted the same and it did.  With very little preparation and easy to assemble, this could be a family favorite in no time. Ingredients: 4 eggs 1 and 1/4 cups of half and half (Full cream is usually called for) Four slices of bacon chopped into small pieces  Gruyere Cheese 4oz grated Three slices of an onion chopped up Salt and pepper Frozen pie shell (You can make your own pie shell, but why bother.  Buy a frozen pie and it comes with an aluminum shell for easy baking) So first heat the oven to 400 degrees and put the pie shell in to brown.  While that is going on fry the bacon, continually turning the small pieces so they cook evenly, and when they are crisp take and place them into...
