Making a real effort not to nibble on chocolate and bread today, which is what I usually do on Sundays when I’m not massively busy. Decided to make a meat free dinner tonight. Wanted something filling but clean tasting. Had some really nice veggie burgers in the freezer, so did those with a big pile of salad and some coleslaw. Found a recipe for a spice laden couscous dish in a Slimming World magazine which seemed to fit the bill. I made some couscous and cooked a red pepper, a red onion and some chick peas with cinnamon, ginger and cumin. Mixed couscous, beans and veggies together and garnished with mint leaves. Very Moroccan, very pretty.

The taste was horrible – couscous was like lumpy mud. Very, very disappointing.

Ade has just jumped in the car to go and pick up a take-away. At least it’s a more healthy option than getting a delivery
