Back to the grind. Spent a week in Disney World and my stomach is still reeling. One day I did manage to pack us a lunch of hummus and cucumbers in a whole wheat wrap, but the other 4 days...well, let's just say it wasn't quite so healthy.
One meal in Animal Kingdom was quite delicious - at Tuskers, a Morrocan-influenced restaurant. We found this pearled couscous that was really tasty. Had basil and olive oil and peppers in it. So, we tried it here at home and it ended up in the kid's lunch today. It also ended up coming home uneaten (full disclosure) - so they had it for dinner and they really liked it. Had to force them a bit to eat something new. Really, it is not so new - couscous is actually tiny pasta. It just looks different. The pearled version is plump and juicy, unlike the rice-like, more common version that I was used to.
Even though the cold weather hit NJ this past week, we had one more picking of fresh basil off our deck planter to add to the couscous. Quite tasty if I don't say so myself!
Menu:
- Basil Couscous (with poblano peppers)
- Carrots & Homemade Hummus (got rather energetic my day back from Disney World and cooked up a bunch of things yesterday)
- Apple
- Apple Chips for snack
