Here is a beautiful picture of rainbow rotini pasta - from our collection of photos.

And another favorite - bulgur - I love to make tabouleh with it!
Tabouleh
2 cups bulgur
2 cups very hot water
1 cucumber, chopped
1 small tomato, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
2 cups chopped fresh parsley
sprinkle granulated garlic
Dressing:
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
black pepper to taste
1. Pour hot water over bulgur and allow to stand until water is absorbed, about 30 minutes (you can do this before class starts).
2. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Serve immediately or chill for future use, up to 3 days.

I have been working all day on the photos and charts for the new video and just wanted to share the pix! Whoever said that healthy is boring or not tasty?
