Breakfast Couscous

Couscous has replaced cereal as the breakfast staple at our house.  It's much healthier and sticks with you longer than cereal.  (Except Lydia - she will eat couscous occasionally, but definitely still prefers her Cheerios.)

You need:

Whole wheat (not Israeli) couscous (we buy it at Trader Joe's, but I'm sure you can find it other places)
One individual serving-size cup of diced fruit (4 oz).  We like peaches best, but pears are good, too.  Mixed fruit isn't as good because pineapple or other hard fruits don't work as well.
Water

1. You will use equal parts couscous and liquid.  I use 1/4 of a cup, Daniel eats 1/3 of a cup.  Measure your couscous and put it in a microwave-safe cereal bowl.
2. Drain the syrup from the fruit into the measuring cup.  Fill the measuring cup the rest of the way with water, and stir the liquid into the couscous.
3. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the fruit, and enjoy!  Daniel and Lydia prefer it with a splash of milk as well.

When I'm feeling more ambitious, I also like to make apple cinnamon couscous:

You need:

Equal parts water and couscous
1/2 an apple, grated
Brown sugar to taste
Cinnamon to taste

1. Stir all ingredients together.
2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
3. Enjoy!
