My ultimate five-minute meal is couscous with whatever vegetables I have on hand and seasoned to fit my mood.
1/4 cup couscous 1/2 cup water chopped veggies - daikon radish, shredded cabbage, minced carrot, minced bell pepper, chopped kale, broccoli florets, whatever! As long as you can eat it raw - no potatoes or rhubarb. Chrunchiness adds nice texture. Butter/Olive Oil to taste
FLAVORINGS: Soy Sauce and FAT (butter or olive oil) Red Pasta Sauce Canned Soup (1/2 can) Salsa and Cheddar Anything your heart desires!
1. Boil water. 2. Add CousCous and Veggies. 3. Cover and simmer for five minutes, or until water is soaked up. 4. Add FLAVOR!
My absolute favorite is radish/soysauce/olive oil. Seriously, it's great.

I'm Uber lucky - I live at a juncture of a discount grocery store and a dollar tree. If you can swing it, beg/bargain/cajole your way into cheap fresh produce! Slices of red bell pepper (2/$1 at Grocery Outlet) roasted at 350 for thirty five minutes is better than veggie candy over rice - it sates my unfeedable boyfriend AND my insatiable female appetite, at least. Actually, ANY veggie, fresh or frozen, is unbearable great roasted. It takes time, but it's worth it.
Frozen peas, peanut butter, and chopped garlic - calories, fiber, veggies, protein, YES. It tastes like cheap thai food. The highest complement I can give frozen peas? I think so!
