Chicken with garlic and soy sauce



So here's a recipe for garlic and soy sauce chicken.

Cook one whole chicken in boiling water and after stripping it of the bones, take a pan and sauté garlic. Put the chicken with the garlic. Then mix soysauce and sugar in a bowl and pour it over the chicken and garlic. You can serve this with rice or couscous or any carbohydrate you want. Dig in!

On a random note, Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! You made my childhood bedtime reading more enjoyable.

Couscous with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese



Here's a dish that is great for summer time and is a "California" cuisine. It includes couscous, freshly chopped tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and balsamic vinegar. If you want, you can also add mint leaves for a fresher taste. Although there is a link to a recipe I followed on my picture, I strayed a little bit from it by using actual tomatoes, foregoing the olives, chicken broth, and green onions for a less caloric dish.

Made Curry Couscous for lunch!

This is the first time I have made Middle Eastern type food. This dish is a favorite in my family. We always bought this from the salad bar in Whole Foods by my house and I decided to try and replicate it. The curry couscous with dried red raisins and sliced almonds salad is quite simple but you have to make sure not to overcook the couscous or it will taste gummy instead of fluffy.
