It was Mediterranean and was extremely delicious. I had lamb shawarma and fell in love. So, when I got home, I knew I had to see if I could find a way to make it at home. Luckily, I found a fairly simple recipe and can't wait to try it. While it may not be quite as good as the restaurant, hopefully it will suffice when I can't make it to Indy. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 2 garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt 1 pound lamb shoulder, visible fat trimmed and meat thinly sliced 1 white onion, halved and cut into thin slivers 1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste) 1/2 cup mayonnaise Hot sauce, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, rice and warmed pita, for serving DIRECTIONS 1. In a large bowl, combine the cumin and orega- no with half of the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Stir in the oil and a generous pinch of salt. Add the lamb and onion and let stand for 15 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, in a blender or mini food processor, combine the tahini with 1/2 cup of water and the remaining garlic and 2 tablespoons of lem- on juice and puree until smooth. Add the mayon- naise and puree until creamy. Season the white sauce with salt. 3. Heat a large griddle or 2 skillets until very hot. Add the lamb and onion and cook over high heat, turning occasionally, until the meat and onion are charred and tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plates and serve with the tahini sauce, hot sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, rice and pita.

Between practices, tutoring, home- work and more, it's tough to figure out when and where we're going to get our children fed because no one is ever home at the same time. For parents, the reality of trying to figure out the family's schedule is daunting and stressful. If we are har- ried trying to fit all of these activities into a day, how do our children react? American children are overextend- ed. Gone are the days of coming home and playing with friends outside for hours before having dinner with the family, finishing homework and set- tling into bed. Today's children spend eight hours at school followed by hours of prac- tice or club activities several nights a week. When they finally get home, they tackle more homework than ever due to higher academic expectations. All of this stress can be harmful to a brain that has not fully developed. So what does this mean for our children? Children, like adults, all handle stress differently. There is no magic number of extracurricular activities that will provide a child with the most enriched life. The best thing a parent can do is be observant and empathetic to the child's emotional needs. Does your child seem stressed? Are they asking if they can skip practices? Do you have to drag them out the door? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, chanc- es are your child is overextended. So, what can you do to help kids manage their time and feel less over- whelmed? Allow them to pick the ac- tivities that mean the most to them. As parents, we often feel the need to ex- pose our children to as many opportu- nities as possible. What is really im- portant, though, is that our children enjoy the things they're doing. When a child is playing and having fun, they are also learning. It is also important that your family has time together. When every family member is involved in different activi- ties it makes it difficult to spend qual- ity time together. We need to be just as concerned about our children hav- ing time at home with their family as we are with the activities they are in- volved in. The moral of the story is…You're not setting your child up for failure if you don't involve them in an exces- sive amount of extra-curricular activi- ties. Allow your child to express what is most important to them to narrow down their involvement. Having fun and spending time with family is what is most important.
