   Carbs:Use any of the following, depending on how "McDougall-correct" (I've
   been learning a lot from you Barbara Z!) you want to be.
   
   16 ounces dry fusilli (or any pasta, whole wheat is fine) boiled 1 cup dry
   brown rice, cooked (don't know how much it makes cooked) combined with: 1
   cup dry couscous (soak for 20 minutes in 1 1/3 cups boiling water) -or,
   combine with any other grains such as quinoa, barley,  or whatever you like
   ~I think this would also be delicious and nutritious if beans (white,
   garbanzos, black) were added to the pasta or grains-use your imagination
   and let me know how it goes!
