Hi My name is Bec, I have been asked to do a guest post for this wonderful blog Skinny latte Mommy, I am honoured to have been asked, as Skinny latte mommy is a blog I have followed for quite sometime.
Located in Australia, it is currently our school holidays here. I have 3 children 12, 9 & almost 3, the weather has been terrible, raining and windy everyday, which doesn’t leave much to do in the great outdoors with the kiddies. Due to the miserable weather we have all had colds and flu, so have basically spent most of our holidays at home.
The house is a mess, there are toys from one end to the other, but we have been able to spend loads of quality family time together none the less, which has been beneficial to all of us (except for all the sneezing, coughing and spluttering).
Since it is cold and miserable I have been dreaming up yummy vegetarian recipes to feed my family. I came across this amazing recipe of Chargrilled Vegetable Cous Cous with hummus. A light dish, Perfect for the winter months and full of good stuff. You can use as a side to a meat dish or own its own as a full meal. So here it is, I hope you all give it a try and let me know what you and your family think. An absolutely beautiful dish, that is just a little bit different.
Thanks for having me.
