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.

I've always been fond of cooking pearl barley in chicken stock (or use beef or vegetable), tossing in chopped green onions, frozen peas or corn (after the liquid is almost all absorbed ... the hot barley cooks them perfectly), parmesan cheese, garlic, or anything else that seems like a good idea. Is also delicious cold ... just stir in a favourite salad dressing. Very quick and low labour.
