What's For Dinner? January Week 1

I blame Instagram for the fact that I completely ignore my Canon lately.  It sits on the shelf at the ready... just waiting to be picked up.  And alas, there have been days... weeks even!... that I just don't take any pictures!  What has come over me???

So, once again, my dinner post will be text only.  That's originally how these posts began over three years ago, but I'd like to get back to photographing the meals I'm posting about.  In the meantime, you'll still find a food picture here and there in my InstaFriday posts.

Our menu for the week of December 29 - January 4th included just two, planned, family dinner meals because we had several functions to attend this week and I just brought a potluck contribution to those.

December 30th was the Riedeman Christmas party.  I brought Grandma's corn salad recipe - always a crowd pleaser.  I already mentioned the homemade pretzels and hot fudge sauce for sundaes that I took to New Year's.  And also this week was my monthly get-together with co-workers for food, drinks and picture organization.  (They scrapbook.  I just put my printed photos in memo albums and caption them.  ;)  Good times.)  I made a pan of snickerdoodle brownies for that.

So for dinner meals with the fam, we ate up some leftovers and I made two recipes:
1) chili mac (also Grandma's recipe)
2) chicken gyros from Pinterest

I highly recommend the gyros!  I made the "yogurt" sauce entirely with sour cream because Craig gags over yogurt.  And it was actually really good that way!
