I always try to take something vegan to family get-togethers, so our vegan daughter and anybody who is experimenting with veganism will have something to eat. Since I also love quick and easy, vegan food is right up my alley.

COUSCOUS WITH MUSHROOMS AND STUFF

• 1 box pearled couscous with herbs and garlic
• 1 can mushrooms
• 1 can whole kernel corn
• 1 can lima beans

Cook the couscous according to package directions. Drain the vegetables. Mix the veg into the couscous and heat through.

I think it would have been better — and certainly more colorful — with some onion and sweet red and orange peppers. But it was good, nonetheless.
