I'm Never Buying Apple Sauce Again — Rosemary-Scented Apple Sauce

So, I was planing on making banana bread tonight but then I realized I didn't have any apple sauce (yes, I'm one of those people that replaces the oil or butter with apple sauce). But then, I thought -- hey! why don't I just make apple sauce? I hunted around online a bit and combined …

It's Healthy! Salmon with a Couscous Crust

Okay, this was delicious. Especially the couscous. It gets a little golden and crunchy on top. Seriously tasty. I was curious about making something that all cooks together like this. I figured it would turn out okay (I basically trust Tyler) but, as I've only ever made couscous on the stovetop, I was intrigued by …
