On the menu tonight – Impossible Gyros with Tzatziki! I love gyros but there aren’t a lot of places close by that do them well. So, I decided to make my own.

Since I don’t have the rotisserie they use, I made a meat loaf in the oven. Audrey doesn’t eat meat, so I decided to try using Impossible burger. It turned out really well!

I also made the tzatziki rather than buying it pre-made. These turned out great! Easily as good as any gyro I’ve bought and better than many. The best thing is it is meat free and you wouldn’t know it.

If you are in the mood for a gyro, I hope you’ll try my Impossible Gyros with Tzatziki.
