Greek Pita Sandwich
Once again we’ve invited Leslie from Dishing With Leslie to share one of her delicious recipes with Skinny Ms.. We love this recipe and think you will as well.
“I have made this a few times over the past month. I first started by trying to add the tomatoes and olives to the skillet. But have found that it turns out better and tastes better by adding them at the end. So good! My husband LOVES this sandwich!” -Leslie
