I love how Will wants to be an archeologist when he grows up. When my 14-year old was in elementary school, he wanted to be an environmentalist. Now he’s in high school … and he wants to be a “millionaire.” Yikes. What are they teaching those kids in high school?!
So fun how you used couscous as your base for a make-your-own side dish. I’m working on recipes for my second family cookbook and just this week, added the final touches to our side dish chapter. Your couscous creation reminds me of a brown rice dish we whipped up using brown rice as the base mixed with carrots, corn and peas.
Really enjoying your blog …

The avocado and red pepper Israeli couscous (with black beans) was a winner! Thanks for the great recipe.

I totally believe that the more involved kids are in the process, the more invested they are, and likely the more interested they are in the food. Make-your-own is a great way to go. We did salads last night, with everyone choosing their own toppings. Happy people all around.
