Now that I braved my biggest fear and ate the innards of some poor sheep, my dear husband has asked me to make a haggis-inspired dish. He even sent me a specific link with this text, “I want this.” Not real subtle. So, alas, here I am, making something altogether foreign to me in this foreign land.
This Week’s Menu
- Monday: Thai Green Curry Chicken, basmati rice, hummus/crackers
- Tuesday: Creamy “Bacon” Pasta with creme fraiche, steamed veg
- Wednesday: Left-Overs
- Thursday: Date Night!
- Friday: Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken, oven baked fries, corn
- Saturday: Balmoral Chicken {psss! This is the haggis dish!}, garlic & lemon asparagus
- Sunday: Spicy Cajun Shrimp & Artichokes over Linguine, roasted aubergine/eggplant and red bell peppers
Last week, we loved the Stuffed Cabbage Stew, courtesy of Rachael Ray, but that was no surprise- always a hit!

I also made Kinda Crunchy Kate’s Tabbouleh, which was a delicious and healthy snack!
Bulgar Wheat
Mixed Up Tabbouleh
Delicious with tortilla chips
Just a reminder, here is the recipe again. ;)
Tabbouleh {from Kinda Crunchy Kate}
- 1 cup bulgur wheat
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt ( I used less.)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano (dried)
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
- 1 bunch fresh parsley (Chopped)
- 1 bunch fresh mint (chopped) — use less mint than the parsley
- 1 large tomato (chopped)
In medium bowl pour boiling water over bulgur wheat and let sit for 1/2 hour. After 1/2 hour mix in all the rest of the ingredients and stir. It needs to sit for a few hours in the fridge to develop all the flavors. I just kind of messed around with the amounts of the fresh herbs until I thought it tasted good and looked pretty. We scoop it up with tortilla chips (which is why I use less salt than called for since they are salty) but I think you are supposed to serve it on a bed of lettuce.

You don’t need to work too hard on Haggis recipes. We won’t mind if you don’t put it on the menu when we come!! Maybe your mother would like to try it -hee hee!!
Your menu looks wonderful! The crockpot chicken sounds really good. I didn’t know what Haggis was but from the sound of things I don’t want to! Everything else sounds just great though!!
Thanks Phyllis – I think I’ll pass too!
Good for you for trying haggis! I haven’t been brave enough yet.
Thanks for sharing the tabbouleh recipe, I remember my mom used to make tabbouleh and it’s been ages since I had some. I think it might be time to have it again!
