I've been annoyed with myself for not sticking to it better about being healthier and losing the last 30 lbs that I want to lose. So the new blog is meant for me to talk about the struggles I've been having and also talk about some of the successes I hope to have. So there ya go, go ahead and read if you want!
Also, a new recipe which I have to say is one of my FAVORITES that I've made in a while. Even though it's healthy and fairly low-cal, the delicious-ness of this recipe make it DANGEROUS!
Tabbouleh with Mint and Pistachios
This recipe was in my April issue of Vegetarian Times magazine, which is AWESOME. Although I have to tell anyone trying the make this that it takes a while for the bulgar to absorb all the liquid and I would suggest putting a large plate over the bowl to let it steam and keep the heat in.
- 1/4 cup fine bulgur
- 3 Tbs. lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. honey
- 1 1/3 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 1 cup finely chopped curly parsley
- 1 small cucumber, finely chopped (1 cup)
- 1 medium tomato, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
- 4 green onions, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- Place bulgur in large bowl and add 1/3 cup boiling water. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and honey, and let stand 5 minutes more, or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff bulgur with fork, and stir in remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Serves 6.
