SUPPER

Having a late lunch and too full for dinner usually landed us with light supper.  There are many places to eat at East Coast.  TCC at airport terminal 3 is one of the good choices.

COUSCOUS STUFFED CAPSICUM

Cooking can also be a stress releasing tool.  My daughter cooks whenever she is under stress to release tension.

A healthy and easy dish to prepare.

Cut zucchini, onions, brinjals and tomatoes into wages.  Season vegetables with olive oil and salt, add fresh rosemary and basil.  Place in the baking tray.

Wash and boil couscous with chicken stock, seafood, onions and raisins.  Keep stirring to prevent sticky mush until liquid is absorbed.  Fluff to separate.

Stuff capsicums with couscous and roast together with vegetables in the oven

FRENCH TOASTS & PANCAKES

Hectic life, sleepy head, empty stomach, rushing to work...  sounds familiar.  Well this is normal from Monday to Friday - stressful work and "monsters".  Only on weekends where you can sleep a bit longer and have a leisure breakfast or brunch.
