    Grilled Beef Kebabs with Yogurt Sauce-
    4 Servings | Prep 20 min | Cook 20 min

    Ingredients:
    1-1/2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
    1/2 cup grated English cucumber, wrung out in a kitchen towel
    1 teaspoon dried dill
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    Salt and pepper
    1-1/2 pounds ground beef
    1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus whole leaves for garnish
    1-1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    Warm pita bread, for serving

    Directions:
    1. Soak 8 wooden skewers in water. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, dill and half the garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
    2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. In a medium bowl, combine the beef, remaining garlic, chopped parsley and cumin. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide the beef mixture into 4 sections. Roll each section into a 6-inch log. Thread each log lengthwise onto two parallel skewers. Wrap your index finger and thumb around the log and lightly squeeze from top to bottom to make 4 indented rings. Rub the beef kebabs with olive oil and grill for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. Top each kebab with the yogurt sauce and parsley leaves and serve on a pita.

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
