This idea is inspired by an old favorite of mine, Butternut Carrot Chicken Soup/Stew, which I haven't made in ages. Mostly because butternut squash has been out of season until now. I decided yesterday felt like a crock pot day. I just didn't want to worry about dinner and I had defrosted chicken from a [...]

WOW I can't believe I received no complaints about dinner tonight. Not a single one! And we even ate bulgur and green beans. ;) Two ingredients that get mixed reactions in my household. I made something similar to my quick Sausage and Pepper idea but used bulgur instead of pasta and added green beans to [...]

I whipped this up today with some aging peppers and a few cans I found in my pantry. We didn't go grocery shopping yet, I only had a small bit of onion yet and had to use kidney beans when I really wanted black but this worked out better then expected. Lunch is such a [...]

Sorry, is that name too crazy? I just get so psyched when I get good stuff in my boys! Especially when they eat it willingly! Now let me warn you. Normally I write up and post a recipe immediately after I make it but this one has been sitting in the old noggin for a [...]

Let me start this post by saying, I didn't even know what Tabouli (Tabbouleh) was about a year ago. I had some at a party last year and the cafeteria at my new job has it all the time. I believe it's traditionally bulgur, parsley, mint, tomato, onion, lemon juice and olive oil. But unfortunately [...]

I don't know WHAT came over me. I had these thin cut pork chops and I just went to town. I swear cooking is becoming a creative outlet for me more and more. I just love it! So this idea was totally inspired by fall and my recent trip to a local farm where I [...]

This recipe was sort of a fluke. I made bulgar thinking I was going to use it for something else. Forgot I made it. Saw it in the fridge...Yada yada yada... Quick Fried Bulgar was born. Sorry, not sure where the Seinfeld reference came from. ;~) Anyway, this is good. I've made it twice [...]

Yesterday I challenged myself to come one with a tasty lunch to use some leftover shrimp I had from our seafood night (I'm really trying to do a fish night at least once a week.) I bought some small shrimps on sale and boiled them for shrimp cocktail. The toddler ACTUALLY likes shrimp this so [...]

This weeks video is a repost of my new favorite dish, Fried Bulgur with Peas and Pomegranate. I wanted to get you guys a real recipes with nutritional info instead of just the idea I posted a few weeks back. Here's the "official" recipe. 1 cup cooked bulgur - preferably prepared with veggies [...]

Update: I posted the official recipe with a video, click here to check it out! Remember on my about page how I mentioned sometimes I just cook for me. Well, this is one of those times. Without having to please the husband or the toddler I hit the ground running with leftovers I found in the [...]

I admit it. I was scared to try Bulgur. I didn't even know what it really was? A grain? a special king of rice? What? WHAT? Geesh! Doesn't there seem to be so many new and crazy options in the whole grain department anymore. Right? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy there is but it can [...]

Oh my Word! I LOVE this soup! I found myself Friday with a crap load of veggies and craving for a nice healthy bowl of warmth. And boy was it perfect timing as a cold front just came in! I made this on Friday during a complete food fest. The toddler was home form school [...]
