10 Minute Meal: French Dip Pitas

My family loves french dip sandwiches.  We often have perfect pot roast for Sunday dinner, since my dad has keeps us supplied with beef from his "hobby" farm.  I've made a few variations over the years.   French dip rolls that have the meat baked inside the rolls, which are perfect for kids to eat, and also Quick French dip sandwiches . However, since I discovered this way to make french dip pitas, it's the only way we've been eating them for the last year.  They can be made start to finish in 10 minutes, which is perfect for busy school nights.  They also travel well and can be eaten on the sidelines of soccer games. Pita pockets are split open and stuffed with roast beef, a slice of cheese and a sprinkle of green chiles.  While the pita pockets are warming under the broiler, I mix up a quick au jus (or juice as my family calls it).  The pita pockets get kind of crispy and perfect to dip in the juice.  The cheese melts over the roast bee...

Week 135 Menu and Pitas

A little while ago (before the moving craziness started), I tried this pita bread recipe from the Artisan Bread in Five cookbook .   I was a little skeptical, thinking that they'd be more like a flatbread wrap.  Just ask my family, I was super excited when they puffed up and then separated inside.  We ate them with chicken salad inside.   I'll definitely be making them again.  Just wanted to share... Anyway...for my menus for the week: Monday: bistro chicken , garlic mashed potatoes, green beans Tuesday: taco soup in crockpot Wednesday:  orange chicken Thursday: breakfast for dinner Friday: pizza rolls -- last day of school! Saturday: easy night Sunday:  meatball sandwiches or  Ginger Soy Beef Tenderloin Kabobs All right, that's what I'm making.  How about you?
