This cool and healthy dip can be served along side rice and meat, or simply with bread. No Persian meal is complete without Maast-o khiar! This dish is best if refrigerated for a few hours, but if you are strapped for time feel free to serve after mixing. Don't be afraid to get creative! Try adding spinach, raisins, or walnuts. Other herbs could be used as well (i.e. mint, tarragon, oregano). More cucumbers, less shallots...it's your call! Enjoy!

Chicken, Rice, and Biscuit Casserole
If you love rice, cream of chicken soup, and biscuits, this is the casserole for you. I remember when I was younger and my mother had made something similar to this from a kit. I decided to try to remake it without a kit to how I remember it. It's perfect for those cool rainy days.
