Buddha Bowl

“Buddha bowl” can mean different things to different people, but basically, it’s a one-dish meal consisting of your base (rice, grains, or non-grains), roasted veggies, a dressing and protein. It gets its name from the large round “buddha belly” bowl you will want to eat it from!

Here’s how you can make one:

Use cooked brown rice, quinoa, barley or bulgur. Or go grain free, by using cauliflower rice.

Take the veggies in your CSA (beets, radishes, poblano) & roast them. I like to add some sweet potato or squash to my roasting pan as well. While those are roasting in the oven, I take all my greens from the CSA (minus the salad lettuce) and cut them up, add them to a pan with toasted sesame oil and cook them until very wilted, adding salt & pepper to taste.

Think outside the bottle—no store-bought dressings as they mostly all contain oils & preservatives that are not good for you. Make a homemade vinaigrette or see attached recipe of my home-made ranch dressing (sooo good)

Add a shower of sesame seeds, pepitas, chia seeds, cashews, or pistachios. It’s the perfect crunch the bowl needs.
