This is an easy couscous recipe, good with chicken skewers and mixed veggies. Note: Feel free to swap out the veggies for a vegetable of your choice; broccoli, asparagus, onion, or mushrooms would probably work well too. Also, feel free to add some grilled chicken for a complete meal! Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups couscous |
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares |
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 cup grape tomatoes |
olive oil |

2. Measure out the couscous and pour in a lg. bowl, toss with salt and onion powder. Set aside.
