Just Add Peas!

What I buy.

In the midst of moving, I'm trying to eat anything and everything I have in my pantry and fridge. Last night, I was making a version of my chicken sausage dish (with couscous instead of a vegetable medley). Finding a can of sweet peas in my pantry I thought....why not?

After my couscous was finished boiling, I threw 1/2 of the can on top (rinsed and drained) and waited a few minutes before stirring. At only 70 calories per 1/2 cup and supplying extra fiber and protein to the meal, it was the perfect filler! It doubled the amount of couscous I had, and decreased the calories per serving! Perfect!

Here is the left over couscous. Try this with any of your favorite rice, pasta, or couscous based dishes!!
