Every other week, Willow & Stephanie give you a glimpse of everything they've eaten for the day, along with a detailed nutrition breakdown using our Log & Share Your Meals tool. This is a great way to see how they use different ingredients to create satisfying, nutritious daily meal plans. And it's a great resource for new meal and snack ideas!
Breakfast: Bulgur wheat hot cereal with raisins, walnuts, vanilla, and cinnamon1 cup cooked bulgur wheat1 tbsp raisins1 tbsp walnuts 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract1/4 teaspoon cinnamon1/3 cup nonfat milkBulgur wheat is a whole grain that is often used in cold grain salads, like toubueli. But bulgur is very versatile and packed with nutrition like fiber, protein, and B vitamins. It cooks much faster than rice too -- which makes it a great grain to use during the week when you’re crunched for time. I love it in this hot cereal version, which is just slightly sweets and nutty and perfect for a cold morning. To cook bulgur, simply pour boiling water (chicken stock or vegetable broth work well too) over the grain in a 2:1 liquid to grain ration, and let sit covered for about 10 minutes. For hot cereal version, add milk to cooked bulgur and heat, then add remaining ingredients.
