here is one of my new favorite recipes from the book "our best bites"- blog found here. it is literally [said is a chris traegel voice] my favorite recipe book ever. best $20 i spent of justin's money to get me a christmas gift from him. there's a recipe in it for greek couscous salad- but i hate all the things in it that are greek [olives and feta] and it needed some chicken to make it a meal. it has a lot of ingredients but worth the work. nice, cool summer salad. justin is not a fan, he calls it pre-chewed food but i love couscous; its a nice alternative to rice. enjoy!
