One New Food – Whole Wheat Couscous [VIDEO]

This week we literally went rogue and tried One New Food a day! We had gluten free waffles, gluten free pancakes, pot roast (ick!), plantain chips (double ick!), and then this whole wheat couscous sent to us by Hodgson Mill. 

So I took a little video of us trying this delicious whole grain during dinner, check out our adventures in mealtimes starring whole wheat couscous! Oh and our girls…

Ironically edamame was a fan favorite…who knew? We will definitely be adding that to the snack rotation this week! 

ONE NEW FOOD FEATURE OF THE WEEK

Each week Lauren from Oh Honestly and I choose our favorite #OneNewFood, and this week I loved what Traci Cummings from Your Wellness Journey was cooking up! Butternut Squash soup is a favorite of mine…adding that to the list.

 

Eating with the seasons is so good for your body! Eating seasonal helps to support our bodies natural cleansing and healing abilities. Now that it’s fall move to the warmer autumn foods! We are enjoying butternut squash soup for Jaylen’s #onenewfood challenge. It’s a fantastic food for your heart, immune system & it regulates your blood sugar. #yourwellnessjourney #healthymama #healthykid
