Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup finely diced carrot
2/3 cup finely diced onion
2/3 cup finely diced zucchini
1 1/2 cup instant couscous
3 cups boiling water
salt and freshly ground black pepper
directions
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the carrot and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft, about 4 minutes.
Add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 more minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
Add the couscous to a heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over the couscous. Add the cooked vegetables and mix well. Cover the bowl (use a lid from a pan, foil, or a dinner plate) and let stand until the couscous is soft and the water is absorbed, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the cover from the bowl and gently fluff the couscous with a fork.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I used the larger Israeli (pearl) couscous instead of the fine type so I cooked this just a little differently because it's not as quick cooking as the regular couscous. I sauteed the vegetables but cooked them for less time. Then I added water to the pan (using the amount called for on the package instead of what is listed in the recipe). I added the couscous and let it simmer for 5 minutes covered until it was cooked. The larger couscous is just a matter of preference for us, the instant is good too but we prefer the meatier bite to the larger kind.
