Dinner...

[cyan_blue]

So I've been trying to cook with more vegetables, fruits and whole foods lately, because that feels healthier than the alternating taco bell and pasta dishes that have comprised emmett_the_sane and my dinners of late.

This afternoon I perused a luscious veg cookbook that Emmett's mom gave me - *every* recipe has a photo! - and chose a few meals to shop for. It's been way too long since I cooked a new recipe, let alone regularly cooking new recipes. Tonight I made the first of the meals. It was a couscous dish, with green bell peppers and scallions and chickpeas and cucumbers and raisins mixed with minted yogurt, served over varied greens with grapefruit slices. Very yummy. Emmett liked it too.

Woah! That sounds awesome! I've always been a big fan of select fruits mixed in with vegetable dishes. Good for you for trying healthier recipes!

I'm a cookbook addict (48 at last count), but alas, I haven't had much time for cooking lately. Your dish sounds fabulous!
