Simple Sides Make A Mighty Feast

I decided to keep dinner simple tonight.

Recruiting my trusty Instant Pot, I steamed the corn & zucchini together (whole) for 3 minutes.  A little chopping action and I topped the zucchini with Hoff's 1 to 5 Salad Dressing (I'm putting this stuff on all kinds of veggies!).

Meanwhile on the stove top, I had whole wheat couscous steaming with a variety of spices and some chopped dried tomato.

Next to that in the toaster oven, I had asparagus spears baking that I rinsed and then rolled in garlic powder & onion powder.

To kick-off this feast, I had a simple side salad of chopped romaine and chickpeas topped with...you got it, Hoff's 1 to 5 Salad Dressing.
