    Dani I just love your take on the traditional foods I ate growing up (and continue to make at home). I love bulgur and use it with so many things, I keep all grades of it in the house, at all times. You could kick up the flavor even more by using chicken stock instead of water when cooking it. Feta – but the real stuff, not the junk that tastes like cardboard that you find in the supermarket) would also be a nice addition for a bit of a different flavor.

    I’m inspired today – I’ll have to make a chicken free (i.e. heavy on the garbanzo beans) version for my vegetarian stepmother for our dinner to go with the red lentil soup I’m making (her fave).

    Love your videos, btw. I wish I were as good as editing as you!

    I am wondering if you would recommend wheat berry in the place of bulgur wheat? This looks delicious and I am still trying to find a recipe with wheat berry that my family will like!

    Kalyn – I know… and it was so easy:). So glad you like it!

    Melissa – Where are you from? Sounds like you grew up eating some yummy foods! Love the chicken stock idea… I’ll have to give it a try! As for the editing, I have to hand the props over to my husband for that… he does all the dirty work!

    Melinda – I’ve never tried it but I would imagine that this salad would be great with wheat beries! I say, “go for it!”.

    Rachel – So glad you are enjoying the recipes! I have to admit… I am a garlic LOVER – SO I tend to be a little heavy handed! LOL

    Dani, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your website and I wanted to thank you for these great recipes. Over a year ago I was diagnosed with insulin resistence and hyperinsulinemia and have really struggled with my blood sugars for the past 4 years. I began eating the low gi way plus my specialist put me on two different medications. I am pleased to say I am making great progress. I now eat 6-7 meals a day like a normal person as oppossed to 13. A few months ago I stumbled upon your website and I was instantly hooked. I love your philosophy of cooking and eating and find your recipes really work great for me. I also really find the videos really helpful. Right now my two favourite recipes are the high protein blueberry pancakes which I put almond butter on (Yummy 🙂 and your chicken quinoa pita pockets however I omit the mango and substitute avocado and tomato. I can not wait to try this recipe. Do you have any suggestions for replacing the lemon juice? I usually use only a little lemon as I find Citrus to lower my sugars. A whole lemon might not work for me?

    I’m from Turkey (half Turkish, grew up there) – great food growing up but I like to put my own twist on things esp as a busy mom who works full time. When my blog is redesigned (should be up soon) the focus will be more on my take of Turkish food. You would love the red lentil soup.

    I have to tell you that my step mom (and non vegetarian dad) absolutely adored the tabouli (without chicken). For some reason, I had never bothered to make it myself but it came together in a snap. That and the soup and some pita chips was the perfect dinner. My husband has requested I make him a double batch of the tabouli once a week so he can snack on it. 🙂 Thanks for the great recipe.

    Melanie – Thanks so much! I’m so glad you are enjoying my blog AND congrats on all of your success. As for the lemon juice… hmmmmm, perhaps a little orange juice. But that is still citrus I suppose… I gotta tell ya, I’m stumped! Any of you other clean eating culinary experts have any ideas to help out Melanie???

    Melissa – SO happy to know that your family approved:) That makes me VERY happy! I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve on your blog… I have a feeling I’m gonna find A LOT of inspiration from you!
