Wasabi Halls, Cupcakes, Couscous, and Kabobs

After we took one of our cats to the vet today, we decided since it was faux spring (64 degrees) we'd get a head start on spring projects and cleaning... so we scrubbed the walls and painted our staircase and landing 'Wasabi Powder' green. It is pretty awesome. Next on our list is 'French Silver' for the bathroom with blue tiles and accents... then a basement renovation!

For Dinner we had Weight Watchers Middle Eastern Kabobs, Greek salad, and couscous. It was so nice to be able to grill again... to bad next week we have a high of 42, back to winter again...

Greek Salad:
1 cucumber, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 large tomatoes, chopped
1 can black olives - drained, rinsed, and halved
1/2 pkg crumbled feta
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp evoo
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp dried mint

Mix all the vegetables and cheese together in a large serving bowl. Then in a smaller bowl whist the remaining ingredients together for a dressing. Pour over salad and toss then let marinate for 30 minutes to an hour stirring about half way through.

My cousin turns 21 next week so I decided to make her some cupcakes. Since I am mailing them and didn't want the package to end up a total mess I frosted them then dipped them in chocolate and rainbow sprinkles. Now they not only look super fun, but the coating of chocolate will stop the frosting from getting everywhere... as long as they don't melt!
