The liquid lunch barely held me through until dinner. After my chiropractor appointment I was nearly gnawing my arm off, and since I still had work to do I decided to just eat a couple of clementines to tide me over.
Thankfully the dinner I had planned came together very quickly. I never think to make couscous, but thanks to Food Network I grabbed a box the last time I bought groceries.
The first episode of 5 Ingredient Fix I watched had a couscous recipe I wanted to try. I modified based on the ingredients I had on hand.
- Boiled 2 cups veggie stock.
- With a few chopped dried apricots and a handful of dried cranberries.
- Pour over 1 1/3 cups of couscous, stir, cover with plastic wrap and let sit 5 minutes.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle with green onions, a big squeeze of lemon and fresh ground pepper. Fluff with a fork and stir.
While the couscous was sitting I cooked up some shrimp.
EVOO, garlic, s&p, lemon.
And stirred in last night’s leftover roasted asparagus.
Served all together. Deeeeeelish.
There’s a whole lotta couscous there…it’ll will be making repeat appearances for sure.
And you know an evening around here isn’t complete without tea and dessert. Since I am low on treats I had to bake something up!
You’ll have to wait til tomorrow to find out what it is. bwahahhaa.
Time to do some puttering around. FH is home tomorrow night!!! weeeeeha!
