Quick chicken dinner needs a kick

Bulgur Wheat Salad

Bring in the year with something good and wholesome.  I try to do some pantry editing this time of year.  There’s always so much that got pushed back during the year that is out of date or completely bad for you.  I tend to have a garbage party right around the end of the
