CHEESY BACON PEARL COUSCOUS
This recipe is quick and easy and makes use of pearl couscous, which is a fun little pasta. I originally made this without the cheese or bacon and it was delicous that way, but my boyfriend suggested them as additions, so this recipe was born, and it is delicious either way. Use low-sodium chicken stock so you can control the amount of salt, and let your bacon get nice and crisp, it holds up to the cheesy pasta and provides some texture.

Steps:
- Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and fry until crisp in a large saucepan. Once bacon is cooked through, remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain.
- Add the onion to the pan and saute until softened and translucent. Add the garlic, saute one minute more, then add the chicken stock and salt.
- Bring the stock to a simmer and add the couscous.
- Simmer, while stirring frequently, 10 minutes (or until couscous is cooked to your liking). Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the Montery Jack cheese and stir to combine. Once the cheese is melted, add the bacon, stir once more, and serve.

Steps:
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, crumble the bacon slices, and set aside.
- Drain all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings from the skillet, and cook and stir the onion in the skillet until the edges of the onion begin to turn brown. Set the onion aside.
- Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, and sprinkle in the couscous. Remove the pan from the heat, let stand for 5 minutes to absorb the water, then fluff the couscous with a fork. Allow couscous to cool.
- Place the onion, cooled couscous, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and garbanzos into a salad bowl, and stir lightly to combine.
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, curry powder, and salt and pepper until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the dressing over the salad, mix again lightly, and sprinkle with bacon bits.
