Are you a couscous fan?

Today is couscous day .. here in homeschool land, where you choose what and when you want to eat.. not comforming to a schedule set by someone else, nor a menu planned months ahead.

We are couscous fans!  Are you?

Do you know what couscous is?
Believe it or not.. It is a grain.  A handy , little, NUTRITIOUS grain that you make in 5 minutes!!!!

Here is our lovely, delcious lunch of Parmesan, and Broccoli & Cheese Couscous.

WHY am I sharing a picture of our lunch with you...

Because we are such BIG fans of couscous,,, I wanted to share a recipe with you.

There are a few ways of preparing couscous.  It is as easy as boiling water!  TRUST me!

Look in your grocery store- perhaps the Natural food section, or bulk foods for BULK Couscous.

Bring 1 c. couscous and 1 1/2 cup water to a boil.
Reduce heat immediately and cook for one minute or until water is absorbed.

Cover and remove from heat.  Let it stand for 5 minutes.  Fluff with fork.

Add seasonings to taste.  ( You can do this while boiling for the minute.)
( examples- substitute half of the water for organic chicken broth, or use bouillon with 1 c. water.)
I LOVe to mix in cooked chiken pieces or frozen peas for the kids.

 We LOVE COUSCOUS!
(Did I tell you that yet?)

BUT.. WAIT!
For those that didn't make it to Health food, or bulk food section...
Pick up some of  these off of the shelf -

WHALA!

Easy- and delicious!

Try some couscous this week, and tell me if you are a fan!!  I bet you will be!
