Pearl Israeli Couscous with veggies

I have tried it warm and cold and it is good both ways. Couscous is high in calories due to its high carbohydrates content so I chose not to use too much. Pearl Couscous is low in fat and has 0 cholesterol. 1/3 cup has about 170 calories. If you are not so worried about calories, this salad is good with crumbled feta, just add it to your plate at the end so it doesn't get soggy.

Sliced carrots
1/4  onion, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 pepper, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, diced
Grape tomato, halfed
1/3 cup Israeli Couscous
1/4 to 1/2 lemon, juiced
Fresh Basil, sliced

Fry veggies with olive oil with salt and pepper over medium heat.  Add garlic towards the end so it doesn't burn.  Soak couscous with 1/2 cup hot water and salt, until soft.  Add lemon juice and basil at the end. Add couscous to veggie mixture. 

Lemon Ice Cream

3 eggs
1 1/2 c. Sugar
Zest lemon
1 c. Lemon juice
1 1/2 c. Half and half
 1/4 c. Buttermilk (or milk)
1/2 t. Vanilla

Beat zest, eggs and sugar until thick and pale yellow. Add the rest. Put into ice cream maker. Ice cream is strong but creamy amd will stay soft. It is not too sweet. The kids love it.
