~For the family dinner last week I made a side dish called Brown Rice and Bulgur Salad. I found the recipe on the WW website. The original recipe calls for lemon juice and a choice of mint or cilantro for flavorings. I went with lemon and mint. Some of the kids didn't care for it so I'm thinking I'll do it again with lime juice and cilantro instead. When I do, I'll post the recipe.This was my first experience with bulgur and I had a hard time finding it in the store. I finally found some Bob's Red Mill brand. I'm glad I looked so hard for it because I really liked it. It's a bit chewy and nutty and added a nice flavor and texture to the brown rice. This is a side dish that will probably show up a lot for us during the summer grilling season.
~For breakfast one morning I made the Fruit and Cheese Stuffed French Toast from the WW in 20 Minutes cookbook. It was delicious! Emily and Jaxon enjoyed it as well.
~A definite keeper was the Turkey-Green Chile Tacos recipe from WW in 20 Minutes (page 159)
Very fresh and super easy dinner. I served the tacos with the Black Bean, Mango and Tomato Salad that I blogged about last week (or the week before?). It was a light, crispy, fresh dinner which was in total defiance of the snowstorm brewing outside our kitchen window that day.
I've always loved hard shell tacos so I was extra happy.
For some reason Emily has never had a hard shell taco before. How did that happen?!? She LOVED them and asked for leftovers later that evening and again for breakfast the next day.

Bulgar sounds interesting. That's cool you liked it.
I didn't think I'd see Stuffed French Toast on the menu! How cool is that?? TGINA!! (Like TGIF, except "Not Atkins"!!) Right?
That is pretty weird Emily hasn't had a hard shell taco before... lol. Sounds like she takes after her Momma loving them so much!
Emily asked for tacos for breakfast? That's awesome! :)
