Beautiful, gorgeous? Sounds like someone checked out of hotel reality. Oh yeah like there’s any comparison, besides someone has to eat it so you can have shoes and clothes. Anything as ugly as a chicken deserves to be eaten. My kidney doctor suggested I become a vegetarian then tell me I can’t have this veg or that veggie. Good thing he’s a doctor and not a salesman.

Yum...I like couscous too...can’t go wrong roasting veggies and I find the prepackaged brocolli, cauliflower and carrots easier and cheaper in the long run. I pull the brocolli out first and I like it near charred.
Try taking frozen corn and putting on frying pan with a little EVO... brings out the sweetness ...I do this with Marzano tomatoes.
Throw any of this stuff on couscous or faro or brown rice.......so healthy and tasty., cheap and fast. Toss sliced scallions on top..now we’re talking.

@debbraw
Prepackaged, I like the sound of that. How long did it take you to make?

@imallers never had nutritional yeast is it just a flavor enhancer or a specific taste?

@contentandwell I must be lactose intolerant because I cant do dairy but hard cheese I can . When I do dairy my tinnitus sounds like a swarm of bumblebees in my ear. And I do Almond milk

@lioness
I’d say it has a mild nutty somewhat cheesy flavor...a yellow powder...so a specific taste. I use it on popcorn in place of salt and I’ve put it on top of eggs and in some soups. It has a lot of the B vitamins and is fairly low in calories but some people may be allergic to it. It is yeast and they say that sensitive people or those with Crohns disease, glaucoma or hypertension may have adverse reactions . You’re not using a lot...just sprinkling. Sprinkled on roasted veggies with tumeric also. It’s not a necessary thing to have and I seem to use it mainly on popcorn and eggs and use half Parmesan half yeast on pasta depending on the pasta dish. I really like it on scrambled eggs and popcorn and occasionally sprinkle on salads just for the vitamins but the taste gets lost in the salads.

@imallers Thanks I like the Bagel seasoning on popcorn, cream cheese with it

@jakedduck1 - Leonard, this is your kind of recipe. It took 2 minutes to find the scissors and open the bag of veggies. Another couple of minutes to cut up some peppers (optional). About 30 seconds to sprinkle all the veggies with olive oil. Once popped in the 400 degree oven leave it for 20 minutes. While it is cooking, boil water and cook the couscous according to package directions. It probably won't take more than 8 - 10 minutes. All of this happens while your veggies are in the oven. Once they are out, mix together the couscous and veggies. I promise that you will not have spent more than 5 minutes prepping this and you will be rewarded by a delicious and healthy dish! Enjoy. PS: Please write back and say the three little words every woman loves to hear: "You were right"....

@imallears - Mary - I will definitely put in the frozen corn next time. Sounds excellent. Thanks for the tip!

@lioness. If you can only do aged cheeses you probably are lactose intolerant. Some people who are can eat regular yogurt, generally full fat type, and some can eat goat cheese. I cannot. It took me a long time to figure out what was causing my problem, I thought it was from my immunosuppressants. Now I think my immunosuppressants triggered it since it started right after I began taking them.
