Mayan Couscous
As with most recipes on here, I combine some of the reviewers suggestions with my own ideas to suit my tastes. With this one, I substituted quinoa for couscous. It's got more nutrients and doesn't have wheat in it. I started with adding the salt, cumin, and quinoa to the 3 cups water and brought it to a boil. Then, turned down the heat to simmer for 10 minutes. While that was cooking, I sauteed 3 cloves of garlic, onion, 1 green capsicum, jalapeno, 1 can of corn, and 1 can of beans. Then I added it to the quinoa and mixed in the cilantro and lime juice. I used 2 limes because I'm a big ole fan of it. It works great for lunch at college. It transports well and is still excellent cold.

Spicy Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup
Everything was great here except I added a can of coconut cream (it really added a silky richness) and some freshly chopped coriander and cashews as garnish.
