other stuff - quick dinner options?

[anotheranon]

On the nights I don't feel like cooking, I've taken to fixing up couscous-in-a-box - 5 minutes to cook, with spice pack. It's quick, tastes good, not too filling.

Problem is, I'm sick to death of it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for something quick and easy that ISN'T a Lean Cuisine tv dinner or similar? Low carb, please.

Go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods or your local supermarket and pick up a) a package of whole wheat pitas and b) at least one plastic tub thingee of hummus. They make them in lots of flavours (garlic, red pepper, lemon, garlic & artichoke). Cut up the pitas into little triangles, open the tub and voila! Instant meal. I've been doing that a lot for lunches these days.

That could work.. I've not had pita/hummus for a long time, and really used to enjoy it. Besides, garlic hummus = mmmmm!

The nice thing is that if you get different flavours, it's not like you're eating the exact same thing over n over again. Hummus is really low carb, low fat and high in protein so it's very healthy for you. :)
