I never really had a good Gyro till I moved to Finland. There’s a restaurant called Fafa’s here that basically only sells these and they’re really good. I decided to try and re-create them at home so I can make sure to be able to eat them even after we move back to America. After…

Cajun Jambalaya is a meal I grew up eating relatively often. It was always made from a box mix and that’s how I always have made it too. But then there’s no such thing as box mixes of basically anything in Finland and for sure no jambalaya. Which is ultimately great because it made me…
