Time does fly when you're having fun, and just like that, an entire year's gone by in the blink of an eye. Its also the 50th recipe from the 50 From 50 In 50 challenge. I'm hoping that you enjoyed reading/making the recipes at home. Please keep a eye on my space tomorrow as I have something for you readers. 
Coming to today's recipe I made Kebab Morgh. Iranians enjoy the grilled meat and poultry.
