A wonderfullyu slightly sweet couscous which coupled nicely with recipe #485183 which were spicy, the only change I made was to use parsley for the cilantro/coriander as we don't really care for it. Thank you PaulaG, made for Aussie/Kiwi recipe Swap #70 November 2012. -
Perfect! Wouldn't change a thing. A very tasty side to fish. -
This is so yummy. Great taste of orange with the almonds. I omitted the salt and cilantro. Thanks Paula :) Made for 123 hit wonders -
This is another PAC 07 choice for me. I served this with chicken the other night. I don't think I will ever cook couscous the same again!! Absolutley heavenly. I love it! -
This easy-to-prepare recipe produces a great tasting side dish FOR CHICKEN as well [at least from my point of view, it does]! Thanks for posting it ~ I'll be making it again & again!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
