Whole Wheat Couscous with Raisins and Almonds

I’m always on the lookout for a good whole grain dish. This whole wheat couscous is a winner on several fronts. It’s tart and tangy, savory and sweet. It’s super simple, and it plays as well as a side dish as it does a salad.

Smoked Paprika Almonds

Win a Bag of Gary & Kit’s Smoked Paprika Almonds!

They come in three flavors–Sun-Dried Berry and Cherries with Roasted Almonds; Roasted Pistachios and Almonds Tossed with Rosemary; and Smoked Paprika Almonds–each made specifically to pair with one of their wines. You can’t get much easier for hors d’oeuvres or a cocktail party.

I especially like these Smoked Paprika Almonds. They’d be delicious served with a slice of Manchego, or chopped up and pressed into a log of goat cheese. Or, ooohhh, with chocolate. But I have a hard time saving them for anything but eating out of hand.

So here’s the deal. Normally, I’ll have a link here where you can go to the Weekly Giveaway group forum and sign up to win. But we’re having a bit of a glitch setting up new forums at the moment, so just leave a comment here to be entered to win (important: be sure you’re signed in to NOURISH Evolution so we can find you … or sign up, if you haven’t already–only members are eligible to win).

I’ll announce the winner in next Friday’s Friday Digest!

Good luck!
