Holiday Cranberry Couscous

Vegan Holiday Couscous Recipe

It’s Monday again and that means it’s time for a new recipe! In preparation for the Thanksgiving holiday I created this Holiday Cranberry Couscous and it is the perfect side dish for your family’s feast!

I will be in charge of a lot of the cooking/recipe curating this Thanksgiving because my amazing family has agreed to do a vegan dinner (even though I’m the only fully vegan person that will be there) and since I’m not a big stuffing fan I wanted to come up with an acceptable replacement. This couscous dish is a bit dry for some who are used to a more moist stuffing, but it has all of the full flavors of a traditional dressing (my family from Oklahoma refers to stuffing as dressing – what do you call it where you’re from?).

This recipe serves about 3-4 people, but it’s quite easy to double or even triple if you need to.

I’m also going to try out a new recipe plugin for the site, so let me know what you think.
