Cous-cous

Just a quick easy side dish. So quick it only takes like 6minutes from the moment you decide to make it to the moment you get to actually eat it. Cous cous is a kind of pasta but you'd think it was a kind of rice if you've never had it. They are super tiny pasta balls (kinda resembling rice cernals) and I love the change in texture it provides. Love!

"Near East" has some scrumptious flavors but it is a little pricy (like $2/box) compaired to just buying plain cous-cous and adding your own flavors (which is like $0.15/serving for the whole wheat cous-cous i got at Winco)

All you do it heat up 1 cup water on the stove and add 1 chicken (or veggie) boullion cube, about 1 tsp chili powder and 1/2 tsp garlic
Bring it to a boil and pour in 1 cup cous-cous
Remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork and enjoy :)
