1 cup bulgur wheat (boil 6 cups water, bring to boil, add this in, 15 mins).  1 can black beans, 1/2 cup corn, 1 can pumpkin puree, sauteed 1/2 cup onion and 1 cup red or green bell pepper and 1 zucchini, 1 - 2 tsp garlic, 1 tsp chili powder (makes it mild-medium), 1/2 dabba chili flavoring from Central market (it doesn't list the spices, but I suspect it's mostly cumin and jalapeno).

Cauliflower piquant

Ingredients:
1. 1 head cauliflower
2. 1 red bell pepper
3. 1/2 cup green olives

Method:
1. Saute chopped cauliflower and chopped red bell pepper in a tsp of olive oil for 2 mins. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover with lid.   We don't want the veggies to get too soft.
2. After the above softens (in about 3 mins after adding lid), add olives, saute for a few seconds, and add the tub of salsa cheese spread.   Mix cheese into veggies. Turn gas off, and cover with lid for cheese to melt.
