It started as a simple Couscous recipe. I took this in a packed lunch to the funeral meal for the Other Half's mother for
the Other half to eat. Since Typical American Food won't work for the heart diet. The entire conversations started as "I'm
so sorry about Kate." {Pause} "What is that? Couscous? It looks so good. How did you make it?" I can't
tell you how many recipes I gave out for this. I should have printed off copies to hand out.

1 sweet potato, sliced thin
12 1/2 ounces kidney beans, drained
