I love the internet.  Seriously.  I would be lost without it.  For example, how would we ever cook dinner or find delicious recipes without the internet?!?!  šŸ˜‰

In all seriousness, weā€™ve made a handful of recipes recently that I felt were worthy of sharingā€¦.

#1. Buffalo Grilled Cheese Sandwiches : Iā€™d like to think weā€™re kind of experts in all things ā€œBuffaloā€ and we give these sandwiches two thumbs up.  It turns your regular, olā€™ grilled cheese into something pretty awesome.  Mike has pretty much taken his grilled cheese Buffalo-style every time since we tried this recipe.  šŸ™‚

#2. Chicken Gyros : I was introduced to gyros and tzatziki sauce by coworkers and my life hasnā€™t been the same since.  Okay, thatā€™s an exaggeration but I really liked it a lot.  Since we only order lunch from the Greek place near our office about once a year, I was pretty excited to find a recipe to make at home.  This was delish!

#3. Apple Cabbage Slaw : Iā€™ve been trying to make more of an effort to get fruits and veggies in our diet so I picked this recipe this weekend.  I made it Tuesday and it was outstanding.  I will admit to making a few modifications to the recipe though:  I only put in 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds (1 seemed like plenty to me), I used 2 bags of coleslaw mix instead of chopping a million veggies (yay for shortcuts!), and we didnā€™t put apples in it.  We did serve apples that night but didnā€™t feel like the coleslaw really need any on it. 

#4.  French Dip Sandwiches : Do you like easy recipes?  Yes?  Well then youā€™ll love this!  Iā€™ve been hunting for a roast beef sandwich recipes forā€¦umā€¦forever?  I craved roast beef when I was pregnant with the boys and weā€™ve never been able to find a recipe that mimics some of the excellent sandwiches that you can get at local restaurants.  Iā€™m happy to say we FINALLY found the recipe!   This one has become a huge favorite since it tastes so good, only has two ingredients, and is made in the Crockpot.  You just canā€™t beat a simple, great tasting dinner that is waiting for you when you get home from work.  šŸ™‚

No blog post is complete without a picture so here is a cell phone picture of dinner on Tuesday night: French Dip sandwiches, Apple(less) Cabbage Slaw, and home-made potato ā€œchipsā€ (no recipe, I just kind of winged it on those LOL).
