Cumin-Spiced Bulgur & Lentils

I took a meal to a sister yesterday. She's trying to eat healthy and I asked her if I could try a new recipe. She was open to the idea. This is one of the most requested meals on the Biggest Loser ranch. She called me today and loved it and asked me to post it here. It is yummy & healthy if you like whole grains and lentils.
