Couscous

Couscous is one of my favorite easy meals, maybe because its basically a fine ground pasta, but really I think it's the fact that couscous is so flexible and works with nearly anything you can throw at it.

Hummus, salad, and fruit? You bet, Fido did a delicious job with their special tonight, a Couscous plate with almonds, pears, apples, onion, hummus, feta, pita. I wiped my plate clean.

Or add Indian spices like I did and find yourself with a hot meal in 15 minuets.
