Lima Bean Puree

This recipe was an accident. I actually wanted to make fava bean puree but I couldn't find any at the market. I thought fava beans were just a different name for lima beans because they look similar. Oy! Luckily my lima bean puree tastes delicious! It is a creamy, garlicy, delicious spread that goes great on toasted baguette. And it is super healthy with tons of protein and fiber too.

Ingredients
1 can of lima beans
1 minced garlic clove
2 tablespoons lemon juice
a pinch of salt and pepper
1 baugette toasted
grated parmesean cheese

Directions~
add lima beans, garlic, lemon, salt and pepper into a food processor and puree. Spread over baguette and top with parmesean cheese.

Cucumber and Feta Coucous

I am addicted to this stuff! I go through fazes where I love something so much that I eat it all the time and then I get sick of eat and never eat it again. This is probably going to be one of those :) With the weather being disgustingly hot and humid this cold salad does the trick of cooling me off.

Here is the recipe
1 medium organic cucumber
1 green onion
1/2 yellow onion
1/2 block of Greek feta cheese cubed
juice of 1 lemon
kosher salt
pepper
pinch of Cayenne pepper
1 box whole wheat couscous

Directions~
Make couscous according to box directions. After couscous is prepared chill in fridge. Once it has chilled ix all of the ingredient together. I like to eat it with pita bread. And it tastes soo much better the next day :) I think I will add purple onions to it next time for color and maybe a few cherry tomatoes.
