Hello my friends! Who still wants to be snuggled under the covers? THIS GIRL!!!! But Monday, we must go on. I’ve been keeping myself sane and healthy through the past couple of weeks with comforting bowls of healthy foods, doing everything I can to keep my immune system strong! For us this is the easiest way to eat- throwing a bunch of vegetables on top of a grain and drizzling it with a yummy sauce. It’s also the easiest to shop for- if I stock the fridge with piles of vegetables and some staples for sauces (cilantro, avocado, ginger, miso, tahini, etc) we’ll be all set for days, with very little thought or preparation. So, I’ll be sharing some of my goodness bowls, (previously known as the HOLY FUCK WE HAVE TO BE OUT OF OUR HOUSE NEXT WEEK AND HAVEN’T SORTED A NEW PLACE Bowl) in the coming weeks. Hope you love! xx- Sarah

Haha Sarah I love your honesty with the ‘previous name’! I think we can all relate – and good luck with the house move! I have no doubt that you guys will get there, and you’ll feel super strong and healthy for having eaten these bowls of goodness in the lead up : )

Currently on a 20 hour journey en route to Denver and after 3 weeks of travel/eating mostly bread and not enough vegetables, this is the first meal I’m putting in my belly tomorrow. Hope you’re well, babe! xx
This looks AMAZING.
This is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been on a bowl kick lately too – definitely want to give this a try! Thanks for the yummy recipe and good luck with the move!!
This reminds me of kale and sweet potato brown rice bowls I used to make all the time. Definitely pinning and trying this soon. Hope you are doing well, Sarah!
Well this looks incredibly good! Can’t wait to try this!

Nothing bad about that bowl ; ) I wish I could dive into that last picture, right now!
We had wild rice salad for lunch today. This goodness bowl looks so delicious 🙂
Oh goodness, this look so good (and beautiful to boot). Fingers crossed the move goes well.
Those are the cutest little mushrooms ever! Love this bowl
I love your blog! I can’t wait to try this dish! Also, where did you get these bowls? I love them.
Thanks for the great recipe! We made this tonight and it was incredibly delicious! 🙂
This was incredible! Added some leftover Lotus root (how random!) to the dish. Had red kale and organic carrots on hand. All gorgeous! Great sauce…will try out on other dishes. Thanks again.
Put the leftover miso/tahini sauce over a stir fry of veg – bok choy, carrot, asparagus, eggplant, red pepper, mushroom, etc. Fantastic!
Made it again 🙂 Had some leftover rice – yum! – and used with some sauteed zucchini, broccoli & onion for daughter’s lunch. She really enjoyed! (side note: made your recipe this time with cabbage on hand instead of kale (ran out) and the flavor wasn’t the same.) Sticking with your recipe next time! Thanks.
