I make the boxed version every week.( one of my picky eater Cyrus's favorite) I thought I'd mention it might be great to add Gorund up flax seed to the recipe. Thats what I do to add omega 3 and fiber to the muffins. Im going to try this with flaxseed. I'll let you know how it turns out. I wish you would start a blog of easy dinners for moms with no cooking talent to make. Im waiting....<br />Xo DanielleDanielle2009-11-06T22:05:03Zhttp://blog.doughremekids.com/2009/09/04/healthy-lunch-ideaspart-ii--easy-and-nutritious.aspx#comment-2514287I've used regular couscous with chicken dishes, but Israeli couscous is much, much bigger and would probably go better with salads, beans, and rice dishes.freeze dried food2009-10-23T02:00:17Zhttp://blog.doughremekids.com/2009/09/04/healthy-lunch-ideaspart-ii--easy-and-nutritious.aspx#comment-2445890Locally, we get it at <a href="http://www.fairwaymarket.com/shop/">Fairway</a>.
