Bulgur Wheat with Dried Cranberries

Easy, yummy, healthy side dish.

Ingredients

1 cup water

1/2 cup dry bulgur wheat

1 1/2 T chicken bouillon granules

1 t. butter

1/4 cup dried cranberries

Preparation

1. Bring water to a boil in a pot, and mix in bulgur, bouillon granules, and butter. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes.

2. Fluff cooked bulgur with a fork, and gently mix in the dried cranberries. 

I didn't have chicken granules so I used beef granules.  It was still good, but I would go with chicken if you have it.

Cranberry Bread

This is my favorite bread recipe ever! I like it even better than banana bread! And it's a great seasonal recipe, great for gifts as well because it's beautiful.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1 T baking powder

1/2 t. salt

2 t. finely shredded orange peel

1 beaten egg

1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup cooking oil

1 cup coarsely chopped cranberries

1/4 cup chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts, toasted (I do not like nuts in baked goods so I left his ingredient out)

Preparation

1. Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of loaf pan; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange peel. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.

2. In a medium bowl combine the egg, orange juice, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and nuts. Spoon batter into prepared pan.

3. Bake at 350 degrees 50 to 55 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing (yeah right, who can wait that long?!).
