Breakfast Couscous

I thought this would be a welcome change for breakfast but sadly, my kids did not like it.  But your kids might!

2 C water
1 C milk
1/4 t salt

Bring to boil in medium saucepan.  Then stir in:

1 C couscous
1/2 C chopped dates (I used dried cranberries)
1/2 t cinnamon
optional: honey, nuts, raisins

Cover and turn off heat.  Allow to stand 5 minutes.  Makes 3-4 servings.   

Easy, quick, last minute breakfast option for those hectic weekday mornings.  My kids are not big fans of rice but they love pasta so maybe the mouth feel of couscous is what turns them off.  Who knows!  But I hope your family likes this fun breakfast treat :)
