I am in love with the Buddha Bowl trend! My Pinterest account is filled with bowls and delight, and my kitchen is too!
The typical equation for a Buddha bowl is a grain, a green, a protein, a dressing, and other fantasticalness to your liking.
Last night I made quinoa (I have been making it in my rice cooker and loving the results). I do one cup dry (washed) and then two cups water and an Edward and Son's Not Chicken bouillon cube.
Next was a yam chopped up and tossed with coconut oil, paprika, and a little pink salt.
I pulled out the black bean salsa I had marinating all day- one can black beans, a half red onion chopped finely, a half bunch of cilantro chopped finely, a half orange bell pepper cut finely, about 1/2 cup frozen corn, an avocado cubed small, and the juice of a lime with some salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.
My greens were collards that I cut into ribbons and then steamed.
Together, it was a perfect bite and a delicious dinner. My daughter ate 2.5 bowls and exclaimed, "I LOVE THIS TOO MUCH!"
