I've been in the mood for Greek food lately, so when I saw a recipe for gyros in the Pioneer Woman's weekly "web deliciousness" posts {my favorite spot for menu inspiration} I knew that they just had to happen. But cooking lamb kinda freaked me out and it was pretty pricey, so I went with pork instead.
