A Review of the Couscous Cereal

This morning I made Breakfast Couscous and it was delicious. It was a bit sweet so I'll probably cut the amount of brown sugar in half for next time but other than that no complaints from me.

The boys were the only other ones to sample it this morning. Am loved it. Kyle liked everything except the cranberries. He especially liked the raisins. I think the trouble with the cranberries was they were they were unsweetened ones from Just Tomatoes. These are great if you're looking for dried cranberries with no added oil or sugars. If you're used to dried sweetened cranberries, you might be in for a shock. I think almost any dried fruit would be delightful in this.

I wasn't sure if this recipe was one or two servings, I suspect it was two, but my kids devoured a whole recipe each and I did too. (Does that make me a pig??) I set out three bowls on the counter and mixed the dry ingredients right into each bowl. Then I added the boiling water from the kettle and mixed it around. Finally, I added the soymilk, gave a final stir and put a cake plate on top of each bowl to keep the heat in. I let it sit for about 10 minutes and then everyone got to uncover their own cereal. I think they may have liked the experience of uncovering their own personal serving almost as much as they liked the cereal.
