Ingredients

• 2 lbs 85/15 ground beef

Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the onions and garlic in a little olive oil until translucent, 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well — get in there with your hands.

3. 3

   Roll into equal shaped balls (we used a small cookie scooper) and place on a parchment lined baking dish.

4. 4

   Bake at 375 degrees for ~30 minutes until cooked through — do not overcook or they will dry out.

Ingredients

• 10 Yukon gold/yellow potatoes, peeled and sliced into wedges

• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp olive oil

1. 1

   Generously pour olive oil in your baking dish (use a dish you can easily cover with tall sides) and layer potatoes evenly.

2. 2

   Top with garlic, lemon juice and zest, chicken broth, salt & pepper, and greek seasoning.

3. 3

   Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, then uncover and cook another 15–20 minutes until browned (you can even broil it if you need).

Ingredients

• 2 cups greek yogurt (2%, 5%, or full fat) — we like FAGE
• 1/2 cucumber, grated with the liquid squeezed out

• Juice of 1/2 small lemon
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• Salt (generous) and pepper
• Olive oil

Preparation

   Finish with olive oil.

3. 3

   Plate it all up and ENJOY!
