Gyro
Shane Valentine
Arguably one of the quintessential dishes in Greek cuisine is a Gyro, a traditional sandwich filled with spit-roasted lamb. I love the fresh aromatic Greek flavors, so I created this baby-friendly version for you – minus the sandwich part. It is delicious with Tzatziki and warm pita.Guasacaca
Shane Valentine
My very dear friend, Lilian Elias, was gracious enough to contribute her recipe for Guasacaca, a salsa-like condiment from Venezuela that is usually served with meats or salads, but can also be used for dipping with pita, bread, or vegetables. Alina loves avocados, so this snack has been a huge hit.Creamed Dill Potatoes
