My husband and I just tried this last night and loved it. I have to admit, we didn't let it sit for very long, but it was very good. It has a pleasing texture between crunchy from the veggies and slightly chewy from the bulgar. I was told I could make it again :-)

I am a stay at home mom of three wonderful kids age 12, 10 & 9. We are very busy when it comes to spring time with sports so trying to find quick good dishes is hard. I love to browse this website and find so many interesting recipes. I am a huge fan of finding good deals to decorate our home. Switching things up and moving things around is always a good thing. I would love to learn how to garden. I always have "visions" in my head of what I want something to look like but have no clue how to execute it.
