Colorful Couscous On The Fly

Written By Katie Bowman

Hello again!

Here is another lil dish I personally love to make! An old friend showed it to me in college and I have recently shook it up a bit but it goes well with a main entrée or alone! And I am all for convenience so I cook the couscous from a box but get wild with it! The tiny couscous pearls are fun too.

Before we get into it I want to share more about my diet lately. I eat fish, dairy and eggs as my animal proteins for digestive reasons and because I have thyroid disease and lichen planus I have to watch certain foods I eat. Also I will admit, all the books I read about factory farming scared me for life and i feel bad i’m not a vegan even but heyyy, i am doing the best and what is best for my personal health.

So, you may see a focus in plant based/seafood/dairy/eggs. And you can switch or add whatever proteins you want with all these! I hope you enjoy!


This is the brand I typically get! It is nice and quick 🫠👍🏻 And then these are the ingredients you will need!

Ingredients for Recipe

  • Couscous

  • Roma tomatoes but any tomato is fine

  • One yellow onion

  • One bunch of kale

  • Feta

  • Lemon

    one garlic clove

  • Mushrooms, any kind.

  • Olive oil

  • Salt

  • Pepper

So, I chop all the veggies separately and throw the onions into a skillet with olive oil and get them to start to turn golden and then I add the kale, mushrooms with salt, pepper, chopped garlic, and lemon in the same skillet and sauté them. Then keep them on low until the couscous is done.

While the veggies are cooking you can prepare the couscous on the side, remember to go easy with salt, the feta is a great salty flavor and if you’re like me and love the couscous from the box then be aware it also has its own seasoning. I love all the different flavors they have! But you can also have a great bulk couscous and use the salt, pepper, lemon and feta combination to as much as you want or as subtle as you want.

Once veggies and couscous are done cooking I add them all together in one bowl, and then add the feta, at least 3/4s cups or less

. And then dice the raw tomatoes and add them all in the same bowl. Stir!

Once it is all done it is ready to serve.

enjoy bebesss!
