Couscous typically cooks with 1 1/2 cups of boiling liquid per 1 cup of couscous. It should also be washed prior to cooking, to get rid of any "powdery" tastes (similar to quinoa). Hope this helps!

I was never a huge fan of pumpkin pie until I made this pie. I'd always had the pie using pumpkin from a can, and it really is much better fresh. I used 3T of "pumpkin pie spice" -- a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves since I didn't have the pre-mixed stuff, and it was perfect. I used a frozen pie crust (deep dish) and still had enough for a small pie left over. I think this recipe would fill two regular frozen pie shells. Great with whipped cream!
