2 cloves garlic
1 inch fresh ginger
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons tumeric
some Vietnamese Cinnamon Bark
2 carrots
1/2 head broccoli
2 zucchini
1 cup garbanzo beans
1 can diced tomatoes

Stew all ingredients together until veggies are softish.

Couscous:
1 1/2 cup veggie broth
1 cup couscous

Boil veggie broth. Add couscous, stir. Turn off heat and let steam for 5 minutes.


Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream Dressing
Cucumbers, sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
2 TBL. white wine vinegar
salt/pepper
fresh dill

Green Beans
- steamed with salt, pepper, and a bit of butter.

Again, I cooked for 6 families (our 4 plus 2 food tree mamas). So the total is for 6 meals and not 4. Total: $45.82

  2. i was inspired by your veggie tagine and couscous and made it tonight. i used cauliflower instead of zucchini and put capers and fresh mint in the couscous. served it with roti. YUM! i love the menu you mama's come up with! gives me inspiration to break out of my ol' standbys!

    can the tagine work in the crock pot?

  3. I'm sad to say this was kind of a thumbs down for us :(. I think, mostly because we felt like the veggies could have been cooked more. However, Dash and I enjoyed the green beans as a vehicle for hummus the next day.
