Breakfast Couscous

In an attempt to eat a more varied breakfast, I made this Breakfast Couscous dish last week. I had made it once before and remembered it was easy, so decided to give it a second try. It is in fact very easy to make. I adapted it from the original recipe found in Cooking Light because I didn't have all the ingredients. Also, the recipe was intended for use while camping, so it did provide directions using dried milk, but I went ahead and used regular 2% milk instead. It made enough for 3 breakfasts, about 2/3 c. each serving.
