That looks really good. I’m going to have to make that. Thanks for sharing

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hope you enjoy

[@elainemeyer3076]

North Florida and hot! Just made a version of this today using what I had in the pantry and fridge. Hoping my husband will like it since he is not a fan of couscous as aside dish by itself. Have a great upcoming weekend!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hope you both enjoy

[@carmentorres2083]

😋 28°C that is when it feels nicer where I live 😰😳. Lately, over 35°C ( more than 100°F) many, many days. Greetings from the Caribbean! 🇵🇷

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Oh wow! Stay cool! 😎

[@ritasmoot1823]

Love this recipe! Thanks. I make something similar with Quinoa. I add black beans, corn, bell pepper of choice, red onion, green onion, garlic, jalapeño, Campari tomatoes, cilantro and the juice of a lime! So delicious!! Serve with green onions and sliced avocado on top. It’s so good. Can’t wait to try your recipe. I love everything, but, the garbanzo beans. However, I can eat them with all the other wonderful ingredients! Thanks for another great recipe.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

That sounds yummy.

Hello Adelina. In Spain we eat in summer a cold soup called Gazpacho (is barely a récipe) I make a lot and let in the fridge for several days. Surprisingly here we have had a pretty cold and rainy summer until now. Crazy weather.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

I've heard of Gazpacho but never had the fortune of tasting it. ❤️

[@laurawinger4339]

I always forget about couscous. And I even have some in my pantry! Thanks for the idea! I'm curious if you have any favorite throw-together, non-recipe meals when you just want something quick and tasty. It seems the older I get the worse I get at feeding myself. And I was never very good to begin with. 😂

[@gloriairizarry4576]

Hi Adelina, I will definitely will be making this recipe, I have never had couscous, will try it. Thank you and take care🌻😄hugs to the beautiful Sophie🐈

New Sub from Houston, TX I can’t express how hot & humid it is here. I will be making this soon…

[@lindaschreiner8676]

Thanks Adelina! I look forward to making your recipe this week in hot & humid South Florida.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hope you like it!

[@michelemarquardt326]

I made this tonight, and it is a perfect summer meal. I basically doubled it for more people. I used sweet onion dressing. I never had couscous, so I went a bit light on that. I also ate it at room temperature because I was hungry and still delicious. I’ll put it in the fridge for a bit so when my son and girlfriend get in later tonight it’ll be a nice refreshing snack. Thanks❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Oh I'm so glad you liked it!! ❤️😁

[@michelemarquardt326]

Thanks! 😊

[@jenniferchapman7819]

This looks super yummy!! I recently had to go on a reduced sodium diet. Keeping myself to 1500 mg of sodium per day total is SO much harder than I thought it would be. I'd love to see any recipes you have that are low (

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hi. That is hard to do these days. Have you checked out the Well Your World KZbin channel?

[@jenniferchapman7819]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll check it out!

[@tennmcclain]

Hello from Knoxville, Tennessee . Very hot and humid here. Salads, cold melons and berries are what I am eating in the heat. Love your channel😊

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Sounds delicious, thanks 😊!

[@itscarolinemary]

This looks so yummy! I like making quinoa with bell pepper, mushroom, and spinach and then adding a salad dressing like a vinaigrette. I want to try couscous 💕 we have had pickles for a few months in the fridge but can't seem to open the jar 🥲😂

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

LOL!

[@youtubehandle0]

It's mostly nice since the last few days in Saskatoon - with just some occasional clouds and drizzles. But it's getting gradually warmer - next week its going to get as high as 32 C. I like to eat watermelon, berries and ice cream 😊 in summer.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Ice cream for sure!

[@heathermcelroy3303]

Looks yummy. My go to is usually pasta salad but I’m definitely going to try the couscous. Thanks again for sharing. Fresh asperges are also great….they add a bit of crunch and colour.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hope you enjoy

[@itscarolinemary]

I make a lot of yogurt parfaits, salads, veggie wraps with vegan chicken inside.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Yum. 😋

[@colleen1872]

Here in Illinois it was in the 90s last wk, now it's in the 80s and humid from the rain we've been getting. I usually cook in the instant pot and lots of salads. Berries have been coming in full force, so have been snacking on them. Thanks for the easy delicious recipe that can be used to clean out the frig.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks. Stay cool 😎 😊.

[@ginnyandersen8527]

I haven't eaten couscous in years! It looks delicious. Definitely need onions and more olives.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

It's so good!

[@smuggafree]

We reached 111 degrees today. It is hot and dry. I wish I could have given you some of the green onions or red onions that I have in my garden. I live in the Central Valley California.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Wow, 🤯 I hope you're staying cool 😎.

[@smuggafree]

@@myBIGtinyhouselife Yes, air conditioning.

[@kiddycar16]

Here in the Midwest its been hot but also having lots of rain thats causing the Mississippi to flood. Broke through 100+ yr dam. I'm sitting on a ridge top miles away. The news is showing the devastation. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe and cool. XOXO to Sophie

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Sorry to hear that. I hope you and your loved ones are safe 🙏🏼❤️.

[@TNbear0126]

Looks delicious, as always. We’re definitely in the hot zone here, on the Tennessee/Georgia border. I’ve nearly died to death a few times from the 96-98 degree days last week. Slightly cooler this week, but more humid, so… 🤷🏻‍♂️ Holiday tomorrow where everyone blows their fingers and hands off, screwing around with store-bought TNT. Maybe the heat will keep some folks inside. There’s an amusement park just a mile of so south of my place and they’ll do a big fireworks show at 10pm and I invited my mom to come over and watch them from the backyard. Trees are missing on the horizon right where they explode and I get a perfect, free, no-crowd show every summer. As I said in another recent video, when the weather is like this, I eat chilled salad, lots of refrigerated fruits/veggies, chips and salsa/guacamole, cereal, popsicles, juice bars, sandwiches. Anything room temperature or chilled/refrigerated is all I want. I won’t turn on the stove or oven. I don’t even want to put on the air fryer! Cold pasta salads are a favorite. Animal crackers, etc. 😁 Yes, I’m four. Oranges, bananas, peaches and mangos. Wish I had a blender, because alllof that with some white rum would be awesome. Oh, and I like to buy a block of sharp cheddar and cut little slices to put on Townhouse (or Ritz) crackers! I’ve bever had cous cous.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Happy Fourth of July.

[@AlisonGreenValleyCrone]

In Wales…still waiting for summer to get going…often having 4 seasons in a single day…makes it hard to plan anything

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

That sounds like Alberta 😁.

[@christinetitus6388]

Hi Adelina! Good recipe just using tea kettle & veggies. Thanks I will make since it’s 95 right now in Van Nuys,California 🥵

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Yikes!!! Stay safe and cool 😎.

I loved that I found your channel! You seem to be living your best life! Thanks for your content!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Welcome!

[@violetschuster197]

Thank you for the wonderful recipe! I’ve never used couscous but I will have to try it. Quick question. What kind of can opener did you use? I think you mentioned it in a video a long time ago but I can’t remember. I need a new one. My old one doesn’t work well and my newest one is a wrist buster. Yours looks super easy to use!! Thanks Adelina!! Always enjoy your videos no matter what you cover!! 😎👍🏻

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

I love my can opener. It's the only one I've never had a problem with. Bought on Amazon: ZYLISS Lock N' Lift Can Opener

[@janfurr9312]

I admire your creativity in the kitchen. It looks delicious. Definitely needs more black olives😊. I think I will try this and leave out onions not a fan of raw onions, but everything else looked great. In the Southeast U.S we are in the 90's + and higher which converted is over 32 degrees Celsius. Stay cool and enjoy your summer fare❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Stay cool! 😎

[@250Rem]

Hello from North Carolina and yeah, we’ve been very high and muggy down here in the south

[@adeleburrows9013]

I absolutely love and identify with your flexible approach to cooking since I generally consider a recipe an inspiration 😊. Keep it up! It has been mid to high 80s F here in the Western North Carolina mountains for weeks and weeks now with no relief in sight. Also high humidity but minimal rain. Although I am not a fan of air conditioning, I am fortunate to have it and have been using it constantly. It also helps with allergies related to pollen which has also been unusually abundant. I do keep it set on high 70s F and utilize fans because I have no desire to feel cold.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Stay cool 😎

[@californiaglo9666]

I live in the Sacramento, CA area and it has been in the 100's F all week. It is in the 80's at night so opening the windows at night doesn't help.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Yikes 😳. Stay cool 😎.

[@erinbrown6962]

👋 hi!!! I’m in Sacramento CA and we are having 108-110 degrees for 14 days! It’s way too hot.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

😳🥵

[@mavahuth5044]

When it's hot outside, I like salads. With lots of veggies and chicken. Just like you put whatever you want on it. You probably have a lot of vegans watch this. But this non vegan really likes to watch you. Right now in Georgia it is 86F but the other day it was 100. But no heat advisory. I will stay inside and read and watch one of my favorite u tubers and maybe clean. Hopefully see you on Sunday.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Stay cool! 😎
