One-pot dishes are excellent alternatives for weeknight meals. You can do prepping before you head out in the morning and assemble when you get home later in the day. I’m a big fan of Israeli Cous Cous and found this recipe in a Martha Stewart Living Magazine about 7 years ago, which I have adapted…

Buffalo Style Sauce
It’s that time of year again, Super Bowl 2013 will be next Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49’rs will battle for the title in New Orleans, Louisiana.
