A Life in Food by real-life Chef Cheryl Bennett
Bulgur wheat salad with chickpeas, red onion and pine nuts is a side dish packed with flavor. It’s also fast and easy, making it a hit for weeknight dinners. Chewy, roasted chickpeas and toasted pine nuts are tossed with bulgur or cracked wheat, sauteed with sweet red onions and finished with fresh herbs.
Roasted vegetable pasta is an easy weeknight meal that comes together in about 40 minutes. Plan ahead and do all of the chopping the night before and it is ready in under 30 minutes. This meatless meal is packed with vegetables and herbs, so it has tons of flavor. You will want to make extra, it’s also delicious cold and makes an excellent lunch the next day. It is easily made vegan by omitting the cheese.
