finally...

...made dinner again. haven't been feeling too well, but gabe was busy yesterday and so i made a quick lunch. i didn't get pictures again, just because we were in such a rush, but here's what i made:
couscous with sauteed shrimp:
couscous:
i sauteed some diced green peppers with olive oil just for a minute, then added diced tomatoes and 2 cups of chicken stock, dried italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. brought to a boil and added the couscous, cut the heat and covered for 5 minutes. fluffed with a fork just before serving.
shrimp:
heated some olive oil in a large skillet with minced garlic, red pepper flakes and dried thyme. then added about 20 med. large sized shrimp. flipped after a few minutes, and served over the cooked couscous.

super easy, very quick healthy meal. i wanted to make something that wasn't too heavy so gabe wouldn't feel sleepy in like a half hour. good balance of protein, carbs and veggies. pretty happy with how this one turned out.
(wish i had gotten a picture!)
