Weeknight dinner = Couscous & Scallops 😋

📋 Planning ahead can mean choosing meal options that are appropriate based on how much time you have to cook or your energy reserves.

Here’s why I chose this meal:
✅ Scallops cook in minutes (thawed from frozen).

✅ Couscous can be prepared by sitting covered in boiling water (See previous kitchen hack for how-to).

✅ Checked my fridge, freezer & pantry for items that needed to be used up.

How do you choose your weeknight meals? 👇

Couscous Hack! 🚨

⏰ I love saving time in the kitchen with couscous, this versatile pantry staple only takes 10 minutes to cook!

Couscous can be used as a quick-cooking alternative to rice, quinoa or bulgur for dishes served with sauces, stews or cold grain salads 🙌.

Here’s what I do:
1️⃣ 1 cup dry couscous.
2️⃣ Pinch of Kosher Salt.
3️⃣ 1 cup boiling water.
4️⃣ Mix and cover for 10 minutes.
5️⃣ Fluff with fork & enjoy!

DYK 🤓: Couscous is a product made out of crushed wheat, formed into small granules or spheres. It’s common in North African, Moroccan and Algerian cuisine.
