I am new here and wish to greet everybody. I also have a recipe to share
that my family (kids included) love. My husband and my 4 year old son have
a slight case of reflux and we have found that when we cut fat and meat out
it tended to reduce the effects of the disorder. I have been looking for
something like this for a long time.

Hi! Here is one of my absolute favorite recipes. My husband lived in
Africa as a baby and loves couscous and I found this vegetarian recipe for
him. It does have a smidgen of pecans, but the dish would be lost without
it and it only contains less than 1% fat for the entire dish. High
fiber,low fat, lacto vegetarian, delicious.

In small saucepan, combine water and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from
heat; immediately stir in couscous. Cover; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff
couscous with a fork; cool 20 minutes till room temp. Meanwhile, in small
bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; blend well. In medium bowl,
combine celery, onions, pecans, cilantro, kiwi, dressing and couscous; toss
gently to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving time. To
serve, scoop couscous mixture into 4 plates. Decoratively arrange mango
slices and strawberries around couscous mixture. If desire, garnish with
sprigs of cilantro. 4 servings 310 calories, 2 grams fat (.6%), 45% vit A,
