Mummy’s Fast & Easy

Apparently, there are different kinds of bulgur or just different spellings.
To be honest, I’m quite confused. I’ve seen bulgar, bulgur and last time I bought boulgur.
I really don’t know what’s the right way to spell it or how many types are out there.
What I know is that it’s really tasty and I enjoy cooking with it.:)

So, enough confusion – the recipe of the day is this hearty bulgur salad (or should I say side dish) with pumpkin, avocado and feta cheese.
I love this time of the year – so many veggies and fruit to choose from, but especially now, pumpkins are everywhere.
And my pumpkin recipe wish list is sooo long.:)

Here’s what you need.
