Persian food

I am dieting and probably will be for months to lose this baby weight. I have been craving food from this Persian restaurant for eveeeer and am afraid if I go I will eat everything in sight. My husband and daughter don't like any of the stews and such that I make but will eat things at the restaurant. This means I never, ever get to eat Persian food. I think I'm gonna make a bunch of Persian baby food for Hunter so that maybe I'll have someone in my immediate family that will eat it with me. I think I'll have to just make gameh or gormeh sabzi without rice. It's better than nothing!
