Tabbouleh, I love you a bit too much

Tabbouleh, Tabouleh,  Tabbouli, or  Tabouli?

Nobody knows… What I do know is that this stuff, whatever you call it, is capital AWESOME! You have to like parsley but after that it’s the most flavorful, light, and refreshing thing you can eat. It’s lemony and bright! I had today off but spent most of it sitting at the kitchen table on my laptop catching up on work stuff so when lunch rolled around I decided to treat myself to some fresh tabbouleh. Here it goes.

It needed more lemon juice and olive oil… I ran out. Oh well, I’ll add some later after a trip to the store and then it’ll be even better.

I guess today is all about food. Dar made a really good dinner. My grandma gave me some freshly picked bell peppers that a friend gave her a few days ago so Dar stuffed them with her own version of vegetarian meatloaf. I’m not sure how she came up with the recipe but it was amazing. It consisted of a package of morningstar crumbles, oats, rice, parmesan, italian bread crumbs, garlic, zucchini, ricotta, and spaghetti sauce. I just asked her where she found the recipe and she pointed to her head. It’s a bit heavy on the carbs but that’s what we get for being vegetarian and having a nut allergy in the house. Nut allergies and vegetarianism… that’s a whole ‘nother blog post. She also steamed some carrots and drizzled a honey butter sauce over them. It was all so good. Dar has been much more adventurous in the kitchen since I told her that I want to eat everything Andrew Zimmern eats including the meaty stuff because I want more variety.vegetarian stuffed peppersvegetarian meatloafsteamed carrots with honey and butterbrigham eating carrots
