All you need is three ingredients to make this delicious salad- cooked broccoli, boiled sweet potato and couscous. All cooked and mixed together and you have a delicious meal or side salad. Herbs and spices can be added for flavour but the sweet potato gives it a nice flavour on its own so it is actually nice to eat plain. I love simple, wholesome cooking and this was easy to do and one of my countryside meals. Vegetables are really easy to source at farm shops and from local sellers so it is easy to make these the basis of my main meals. I also like using couscous sometimes instead of rice or pasta as it is a lighter alternative. This is a simple meal with only three ingredients but one which will fill you up, keep you healthy as it is filled with vitamins and nutrients and is quick to prepare. It also make a nice base to add more things to- make it more filling with tofu or add more veggies like sweet corn and peppers to increase the flavour it is a great base for many more options.
These are some of the food products I bought when staying away from home. I usually like to cook from scratch so I make my own home made burgers, however these Gosh burgers were a nice alternative. They have healthy ingredients in them and are easy to cook. This is quite a new range and I hadn't found it before so it was nice to be able to get something healthy and filling to have. They are £2.50 a pack for two burgers which isn't too expensive although it might be if it was something you were buying for a large family which is where home made options work out cheaper, however as a treat or when away from home I think these are great options. I also got a tub of Pure butter which I used on sandwiches, bagels and in cooking. This is something I would only do when staying away from home as it means you don't have to buy oils or cooking spray. I also got a pack of tofu which was great to add to salads or make scrambled tofu with. It is so easy to find options when on a self catering holiday as there are more and more vegan convenience foods available.
