1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb. lean ground lamb

Combine the first 8 ingredients. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each portion into a patty. Grill the patties until well done, either on a grill or grill pan.
Cut each patty in half and place the two halves on each pita. Drizzle each serving with Tzatziki Sauce and add desired toppings. Fold in half to serve.
Tzatziki Sauce:
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt (6 oz.)
2 Tbsp. grated peeled seeded cucumber

GREAT DESSERT IDEA
Lemon Berry Angel Food Roll
by Tami Rose
Mom will think that you've spent all day in the
kitchen baking when you present this pretty cake
roll. It will be your little secret that it's really quick
and easy to make!
Cake:
1 Box Angel Food Cake Mix
Confectioner's Sugar
1 Can of Lemon Pie Filling
4 OZ Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 C. Lemon Juice
Berry Sauce:
1 C. Frozen Berry Mix, thawed
1 C. Sugar
2 TBSP Lemon Juice
To Prepare Cake Roll:
Preheat over to 350°
Lightly spray a 15" x 10" x 1" baking sheet with cooking spray, then line with waxed paper.
Prepare cake as directed on box. Spread cake batter in baking pan. Bake for 15 -20 minutes or until the cake is light golden brown and springs back when touched. Immediately invert onto a towel that has been dusted with confectioner's sugar; gently peel off waxed paper. Starting at the short side of the cake, roll cake and towel up together into a roll. Cool completely on wire rack.
Unroll cake roll and spread lemon filling* over entire cake. Roll back up without the towel, then wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 3 hrs. or freeze. Allow 30 minutes to thaw before slicing. Spoon berry sauce* over cake roll slices.
To Prepare Filling and Berry Sauce:
Lemon Filling: Using an electric mixer, blend together lemon pie filling, cream cheese and lemon juice. Mix well until really smooth. If needed, add 1 tsp at a time more of lemon juice to the mix until an easily speadable consistency is achieved. Chill filling until the cake roll is cooled.
Berry Sauce: In a saucepan, stir together thawed berries, sugar and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat just until sugar has dissolved. Remove sauce from the heat. Can be served warm or cold.

Member Tip :
To avoid soggy sandwiches in packed lunches, put the tomato, mayo, or mustard between the slices of lunch meat instead of the bread.

When grating cheese, always spray the grater with non-stick cooking spray first....cheese just slips off and clean up is a breeze.
BAKING TIP
More Baking Tips
Greasing and Flouring Baking Pans
I found a shortcut for less mess and easier clean-up take an empty parmesan cheese
container, clean it and place flour in it to store in the refrigerator. This is an
airtight container and makes it easy to sprinkle flour onto greased pans without
a lot of waste or mess.
