Vegetarianism is pretty uncommon in Zimbabwe, so it’s incredibly difficult for me to find something to eat whenever we go out to dinner. So you can imagine…

Simple Couscous Tabbouleh
First new recipe of the new website! Woohoo! A.k.a. what I’ve been eating everyday for lunch since I got back from Europe last week. It’s THAT good.
