Microwave Lunch

Weirdest, yet most delicious, lunch I’ve created as of late, made completely in the microwave at work:

Ingredients:

• 1 sweet potato
• 2 small slices cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup cous cous [I'm OBSESSED with Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Cous Cous. So tasty!]

 Preparation Instructions

1. Prepare cous cous according to  package directions. 
   [In the case of the Trader Joe's WW Cous Cous - in a microwavable bowl, combine 1/4 cup cous cous, 1/4 cup water, a shake of salt, and a little less than a teaspoon of butter and microwave for 3:30. Fluff with fork. ]
2. Puncture sweet potato with fork in several places.  Heat in microwave for 4 minutes.
3. Slice sweet potato in half.  Add a slice of cheese to each sweet potato half.  Return to microwave and heat for additional 45 seconds.
4. Top cheesy sweet potato with cous cous. 

Oh my gosh, how did I ever think of this? It’s like a celebration of goodness in my mouth.  Also, it’s super easy to make while at the office. Double score.
