There are few things that I love more than a gyro.

On more than one occasion, I've been seduced off the gluten free bandwagon by a gyro.

I know, I know. It is a terrible thing to do to myself. More often than not, I pay for it for days.

This dish was a huge hit at our house. In fact, I've already got it on the menu for next week. Who knew?
