So I'm gonna be honest with you. I had very little time in the kitchen last night because I spontaneously went out for drinks around 7. Most definitely worth it, but after two Stella Artois, I was the buzzed chef (another beauty of eating clean...it takes VERY little alcohol for you to have a good night out). Anyway, I came home last night around 10:30 and decided to make Couscous. It only takes about 2 minutes total to boil and then on the adjacent burner I sautee the veggies. Considering I was in a creative state of mind, I just started throwing things in. I only had a few bites before bed but made an entire lunch for today and dinner for tonight out of it.
Ingredients of intoxicated couscous:
-whole wheat couscous
-tomatoes
-artichokes
-grilled chicken breast
-broccoli
seasoning: garlic, cracked pepper, herb mix
Sooooo good and the protien in the chicken will keep me full for hours!
I have an appointment about 40 minutes away tonight so i also brought some kashi go lean crunch cereal to put in my greek yogurt before I leave work. The WORST thing ever is letting your blood sugar drop so low that you binge on whatever you can find first. I also have a banana in my purse for the ride home tonight before I get to the leftover couscous.
I know it seems like I carry a lot of food around, and I do, but it's SO much better than spending money or breaking down and eating out...this can always be avoided. I'd rather be overprepared than find myself booty calling Dominos (sick, i would never do that but you get the point) in a panic.
Anyway, i ramble again. Enjoy!
Try the same, but sub quinoa for the couscous--omit chicken.
