I recently had a gyro at a Greek festival and it was delicious. I would love to be making these at home but am not sure buying the typical meat (the stuff that is shaved off the spit thing that is hanging up) is worth it. Is it possible to somehow replicate this at home? Make my own meat maybe, or even buy some meat from somewhere (the real meat stuff that is used in Greece)? I went to a restaurant and they actually put lamb sliced from a leg in the gyros there. Is this really something that people do in Greece or do they pretty much just get gyros when they are out and don't make it at home?

You can buy meat from the frozen section already cut from the spit before t was frozen. You can also make something like a leg of lamb at home and slice it. You can even cut Greek meatballs into slices!

There are two Greek dishes that I enjoy a lot and like to make a lot - fasolakia and the baked vegetables with the variety.
It's not always realistic for me to make them, though, because of the vegetable situation.
Is it okay to use frozen veggies? These are washed and chopped - they're basically ready to go - so it would save me a lot of time!

We cooked too much Easter lamb than we needed and have a ton leftover. I am sure I am not the only one! I am brainstorming ways to use the leftovers. Do you guys have anything to add?
1. Gyros with lamb (Tzatziki and all the trimmings!)
2. Lamb sandwiches
3. Stir fries
4. Lamb in rice and tomato sauce
5. Wraps
6. Omelets and scrambles (think steak and eggs, but with Greek flavors and of course lamb instead of steak)
