Simplicity is key to maintaining my healthy diet. When I'm juggling writing projects and trying to avoid the fast-food temptation up the street, I turn to my mother's Kotlete Kubideh--Persian Hamburgers. These delectable little meat patties may look unassuming, but they're quick to make and a tastey introduction to Persian food. Best of all, you've already got the ingredients in your kitchen, so there's no need for a trip to the local ethnic grocery for "Exotic Spice X". Ready? Here we go!

This rich, chocolate torte is a sweet ending to your meal. The fresh raspberries and chocolate ganache take this dessert from great to perfect.

These egg custards are a fun way to spice up a family brunch. Enjoy this breakfast with a fresh grapefruit, or sauteed vegetables, or both!

The key to this rib recipe is parboiling the ribs to soft, juicy perfection - then searing them over a cherry-wood fire. If you don't have a smoker, don't worry - these will still turn out delicious using a regular grill or even pan-seared.

For our green eggs and ham, we made a tasty kale pesto to drizzle over the eggs, and served them with Irish bacon. This breakfast was extremely delicious and would be a great brunch idea to celebrate St. Patty's day.

My Grandy always told me that when my mom was young she would have the butcher grind liver into their beef. She even told a story of one of the neighbor boys coming over for dinner and saying her hamburgers were the best he's ever had. So that was it. I was going to mix our beef liver into some ground meat and hope for the best.
