After running my final "errands", I came home and made some dinner (dammit!). Tonight menu consisted of: grilled chicken (from last night's cookout),
Morgan's couscous, watermelon/feta/radish salad (courtesy of Women's Health Magazine), blanched green beans and some "Hi" Cabernet. This meal, or type, is my most favorite ever (besides sushi, pizza, southern fried chicken...) Yes, I tried to rotate the picture, it was a no-go. Deal.
Morgan's couscous
- 1 1/4 cup low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or Earth Balance butter
- 1 cup couscous
- 2-3 handfuls of spinach
- 2/3ish cup chickpeas
- 1/2 sweet onion, diced
- 1 small clove garlic, diced
- 3-4 asparagus spears, shaved with vegetable peeler
- 1/4 jalapeno, diced
- salt, pepper, cayenne to tasteand drizzles olive oil on top, of course
Heat veggies in a little bit of olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or so. (until spinach has almost wilted) Heat broth and teaspoon of olive oil in a sauce pan. When it comes to a boil, add the couscous, stir with a wooden spoon, cover and remove from heat. Add veggies, spices, stir. ENJOY!!!Dessert is vanilla bean coconut milk ice cream with fresh strawberries and maybe I will whip up some chocolate sauce!
Up next, weekend training... of course I semi disappoint myself, you'll see.
