A trip to Bob's Red Mill......

Yesterday was an errand running day for me. I took a quick trip to the mall to get something nice for Father's Day....and then a dash over to Bob's Red Mill to pick up a few grains and legumes. I am accustom to cooking with most of these wonderful ingredients but I did throw in a couple I'm not use to cooking with. From the left is: Quinoa, Wheat Berries, Garbanzo Beans, Flaxseed Meal, Red Lentils, French Green Lentil and Light Bulgur. Quinoa and Light Bulgar are new to me. Bob's Red Mill web site offers recipes as well as all of their products for shipping all over the world. This is an up and coming company.....and one to watch as it grows worldwide!! For those of you who live elsewhere I thought you might like to do a little comparison pricing. If you want to have a shipment sent to your home, wherever you live, you'll have a good idea of the cost vs gas price for driving around looking of these things.
And finally....here is the salad I made using, light bulgur wheat, from Pink Purls "In the Kitchen" recipe...London Memories Salad. Mine doesn't look nearly as nice as hers but it is delicious and worth making. Go to her blog Pink Purl and check out all of her recipes while getting the recipe for this salad.

Looks wonderful. I've made Ina Garten's (Barefoot Contessa) Taboulleh recipe with Quinoa instead of bulgar for someone who has to have a gluten free diet. It was a fine substitution.

I've got to get a better camera!! Soon! I can't get a clear close up without things looking a little out of focus. The salad is a taste treat!!

I don't cook with most of those ingredients, but every time I eat something someone has made using quinoa and wheat berries, etc., it was delicious.

most of the ingredients sounds foreign to me but that salad sure looks good :)
