Couscous . . . couscous . . . don't you just love saying that word?

Couscous with Apricots and Almonds
—from "SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life"

Healthy side dish, great flavor, nutritious . . .

Didn't love the texture . . . the dish was saved by the almonds and apricots, otherwise it would have felt too mealy on the mouth. I've since learned that couscous is great stuffed in pita bread, with other veggies. I'll have to keep it in mind when I make it next time. Yes, there will be a next time, I have to finish the package!

Oh, Maria, this looks so delicious! Couscous with veggies is always good too if you throw in some pinenuts, with the veggies, and spice it up well. Some, I hear, really love the addition of garlic, and couscous is one of those things that is a great bedfellow to whatever you are fond of.

LOVE couscous! Stuffed in pita bread is the best!

I love couscous, but I can see how including something with the texture of apricots to it could make the texture a little off. Looks yummy, though!

I don't know that I've ever had couscous. The shots of it look yummy. I love Angela's suggestions, too! :)

I think I must be hungry. I've never had couscous before but it sure looks good to me. Can't I just have a dish of that and one of Celine's muffins?
