Judy and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner this evening, a Moroccan dish combining Chicken, Dried Apricots and Couscous, with slivered Almonds. As you have seen from past posts, we can’t stay away from Couscous for very long. It’s become one of our favorite sides. This dish is so good that it will be hard not to go back for seconds. You’re in luck. At only seven points per serving you can split your seconds with your best friend. You may as well enjoy yourself. You deserve it, don't you?
From our kitchen to yours. Enjoy the adventure.
