RECIPE
- Rice Select Couscous, Original (I added salt and butter as directed this time, which made it quite tasty.)
- Cucumbers
- Grape tomatoes
- Half an avocado (I LOVE avocados!)
- Feta cheese
- Raisins
- Dressing: Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar
* The first time I made the meal, I did not include the feta cheese or raisins, and it still tasted delicious.
The Ingredients, Prior to Mixing and Adding Dressing
Everything Mixed Together
You may be wondering why the title of this post is called 2 1/2 meals with the same veggies. In addition to making the couscous with veggies, I made a dish with all of the same veggies without the couscous. This served as an appetizer, so I consider it 1/2 of a meal.
My second full meal included scrambled eggs. I love eggs and usually make them for lunch. Today I used the left over veggies from the previous dinners to make a delicious meal.
RECIPE
- Cucumbers
- Grape tomatoes
- Avocado
- Cheddar cheese
- 3 eggs
I'm not sure what I'll make next for dinner, but I want to get out of my box and not use my normal ingredients (veggies and couscous). Does anyone have suggestions for easy, inexpensive meals?
If you have a slow cooker...check this out. There are other easy recipes on my blog too.
