Couscous and Chickpea Salad
3 cloves garlic minced
1 Tbsp margarine
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup couscous
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cucumber
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp cumin
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
salt and pepper
1. In a medium saucepan, saute garlic in melted margarine for 2 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous and salt. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
2. Transfer couscous to a large bowl, add remaining ingredients, and mix. (I would recommend to store in fridge for only 2 days.)

I like you're idea of recipes...I was thinking of doing the same thing :)
I have a friend who posts her very exotic recipes that she really does make or experiments with. She also adds pictures of it finished and sometimes in the process of being made. It is fun. Great pics of the family and the food sounds great. I think I'll copy it.
I love the idea of posting your recipes. I love your food! And I can't believe how big Kellen is getting!sarahc
