Succulent Roasted Ham with Sauerkraut | Lithuanian dinner

This pork butt\ham roast, actually it is a pork butt part, but for unknown reasons Americans call shoulder meat butt.. and this part becomes a picnic ham. Hm.. Maybe they can’t figure it out where the head is? Hahaha
Anyway, this is scrumptious delicacy is easy to make, but you know some steps and have to start in the late morning if you want it for dinner. I had 9.5 lbs ham and it took me over 5 hours to make it, plus it needs to rest at least 15-30 min.

Greek chicken wrap | Dinner in under 30 min

Mediterranean food is my absolute favorite. We make wraps at home pretty often. Chicken wraps, beef or vegetarian with falafel and tahina sauce. This time I am sharing with you the Greek version of my chicken wrap. You can make more for next day’s lunch or later snack. It’s definitely gets soggier but still very delicious.

Beef Roast

Beautiful, aromatic garden herb covered beef roast is a delicious weekend treat. We like it medium rare, so I cook it until 130 F, but if you like it more cooked, go ahead and add 5 more degrees.
