$2.53 Spicy Thai Couscous with Asian veggie slaw...

This is an awesome meal...cheap and easy. All you need is:

3/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/4 cup peanut butter
4 tbsp light soy sauce
1/8 cup (or more if you like it really spicy) Red Hot
1 tbsp lemon juice

Blend together and pour over 1 cup prepared couscous (1 cup dried couscous and 1.5 cups water/veggie broth...place in microwave for five minutes and voila)...yum! You can make the sauce while the couscous is cooking.

Pictsweet makes a great frozen Asian veggie mix (on sale at Wal-mart this week for $1.28 a bag)...1 g fat, 200 mg sodium. Place veggies in microwave for 5 minutes while your setting the table...

Costs:

Couscous: $0.75
Sauce: Ingredients in fridge, so maybe $0.50
Veggies: $1.28

Grand total: $2.53 for four servings, or $0.64 a serving for an incredible meal in under ten minutes and about 260 calories! Add a grilled chicken breast or spinach salad if you're looking to up the calorie value.
