Blame it on the extra sunshine, warm temperatures, and abundance of fresh produce, but I always feel healthiest in the summer months. With school being on summer break, I actually have time to focus on me.

If I even mention the word “healthy”, Hubster cringes and it becomes a challenge to get him to try something. My healthy breakfast options are usually prepared for myself.  Meanwhile, he’s more content eating cereal or bacon, eggs, and potatoes.

Forgive the dark photo, it wasn’t quite bright enough (plus it’s rainy) yet to get a decent photo.

It’s difficult to find bulgur wheat here, so it’s been a while since I whipped up a batch of tabbouleh. I recently found a decently price on-line supplier, so it’s time to indulge again.

Tabbouleh

Ingredients:
1 c. bulgur wheat, 1 c. hot water, 1 medium cucumber, 1/2 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes, 1/2 c. sun-dried tomatoes (julienne strips), 1/4 c. chopped green onion, 1 1/2 c.  chopped parsley, 1/2 c. chopped mint leaves, 2 lemons, 1/2 tsp. ground cumin, olive oil, fresh ground sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper, romaine lettuce (optional), feta (optional)

Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together bulgur and hot water. Allow to sit for an hour. Juice & zest lemons. Cut cucumbers and half tomatoes. Toss together all ingredients (except romaine & feta) and chill.

Serve over romaine lettuce and sprinkle with feta.

Now it’s your turn:
What’s for dinner tonight?
