This couscous recipe is really, really yummy! The veggies go great together and the spices are just right. I especially enjoyed the tad of heat from the hot pepper sauce. I made this vegetarian using veggie broth and gluten free using quinoa. It worked out really well and Ill surely make this again.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, bmcnichol. What a quick, easy and delicious recipe!<br/>Made and reviewed for PRMR Tag February 2012.

A delicious and easy to make couscous recipe which we greatly enjoyed with **Jubes**'s Recipe #238158 and Katzen's Recipe #209425. I omitted the hot pepper sauce - even the itsy-bitsiest dash would have been too hot for my zero tolerance! As I often do, I used that as my rationale for adding a generous quantity of minced garlic instead of the garlic salt. I used breezermom's Recipe #328649. Certainly a recipe I'll be making again. Thank you for sharing it, bmcnichol. Made for Gimme 5.

This is almost identical to the recipe that I found in Light & Tasty and have made for years. My recipe also calls fo 1/2 cup celery added with the carrots and for 1 medium zucchini diced and added with the spices (so it doesn't fall apart). My family really enjoys this as a side dish,as well as for a light meal. Thanks for posting!

This couscous was really good. I'll do it again for sure. We loved it even DS (3 years old). I omitted the hot pepper sauce because of him. I loved the taste of the basil and veggies in it. And usually I don't really like couscous. I used fat-free, sodium-free chicken broth. And I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Thanks Bonnette. Made for 123 hit wonders

I have two boys Eddie 18 and Brandon 10. I have been with my hubby for 16 years. I work full time outside the home and my boys keep me busy at home. Eddie is a singer and base guitar player in a band and Brandon races go karts. We also have a Collie/Beagle mix named Sugar.
I love to cook and try out new recipes. My family likes it too but at times ask my to make just "normal" food, as I forget sometimes to make my own TNT recipes.
I cook a lot with with my crock pot as it makes life a lot easier for me. I am always on the look out for new crock pot recipes.
I'm not much of a baker as I don't like to measure things.
I collect cookbooks and recipes in general. I usually start with a recipe and tweak to my families liking.
My Rating System:
5 Stars = The whole family enjoyed the dish and it will be added to my TNT cookbook. Book #220911. These recipes will be made again and again.
4 Stars = Recipe was good, but needed some modifications or it was good but not something we would want on a regular basis. Also goes into my TNT-4 star recipe cookbook. Book #220912
3 Stars = It was edible, but won't be made again.
2 Stars = Needs some kind of major adjustments.
1 Stars = Inedible, didn't work, waste of ingredients.
