"This is a healthy one dish meal that can be made in 30 minutes. Can use regular couscous, but I prefer the whole grain variety for this dish because it has great texture."

  1. Mm, mmm, mmmm! I love whole wheat couscous and everything in this dish! The flavors all meld so well together that it tastes just as good cold as it does warm...(I had some for breakfast!) I used low-fat feta to cut some calories and also added twice the garlic just cuz I could! Will be making this again and again. Thanks Maureenie!

I am an attorney and have been married 25 years. I enjoy cooking and creating good meals, but on weekends only! My favorite cookbook is the Jane Brody Good Food Book, but having said that, I usually find something that I love in most cookbooks! My current passion is adopting favorite recipes and making them healthy and yummy (or just finding great recipes that promote good health!).
