I’m trying to introduce a few more herbs into George’s meals in attempt to make the transition to family food easier.  I feel this recipe has a “Morroccan” vibe happening with the pumpkin, couscous and mint.  George loves it, on its own or with a small spoon of ricotta mixed through.

Nutrition Note:  Cous cous is a quick to cook grain, high in carbohydrates and rich in B vitamins.  It’s perfect for when you need a meal in minutes.
