Pearl Couscous, Veggies, Tofu

I've had this little container of pearled couscous in my pantry for ages now.  It's actually expired... but the couscous totally tastes fine, and I'm not dead yet.  Just goes to show you that the labels are usually quite generous with their dates.

 

 

I don't know if you guys even CARE or not...

 

But I DO know that you care about a pile of carbs, protein, veggies and olives!

 

Gotta love those olives...
