This couscous, tofu, and broccoli dish bridges the worlds between pre–made and home–made, making meal–prepping a less intimidating endeavor. Let's make lunch less disappointing.

What did I use and why?

While it's not the most wholesome couscous around, I used Near East roasted garlic & olive oil couscous because I grew up eating the parmesan flavor and it brings back memories. I used Wildwood's savory baked tofu because it tastes like chicken! Famous Dave's Natural Sweet BBQ sauce is my favorite. It is free from honey and high fructose corn syrup.
