I think he liked the change from potatoes or rice. I do have to admit though, I didn't use plain couscous, I … Continue reading Honey-glazed Chicken breasts with couscous
We are trying to increase the number of vegetarian dishes we eat. Therefore, I have created "Vegetable Tuesdays". This way we don't only talk about it but have to do it.
