Creamy Couscous and Veggies

I am obsessed with this baby and toddler friendly recipe that your entire family will love! I had it for dinner two nights in a row- one night with ground turkey and the next night with grilled chicken. It is so versatile, EASY, has veggies, and reheats so well. 

You could easily make a big batch and freeze in cup portions for up to 3 months. To reheat, I add a little milk in a small saucepan with the couscous to reheat or if you’re in a time crunch, microwave for 1 minute. 

I used sweet potatoes and cauliflower as my veggies in this recipe but you could easily swap out for one of your faves! I will say that sweet potato and cauliflower both have a very versatile taste so it would go well with any protein.
