Vegan Burger Bowl

Yes, I’ve been on a total bowl kick lately. They’re a fantastic way to use leftovers without feeling like you’re eating the same thing over and over. This one was inspired by trying to make having a burger feel a bit healthier- I’m good with the vegan burger patty itself, but the nutritional value of the bun is definitely a bit more questionable. Pairing it with whole grains seems to be much more the thing!

Vegan Chili Bowl

If you made last week’s chili recipe, you probably have some leftovers. I hate throwing out food - I deeply believe in leftovers. But sometimes you get sick of eating the same thing three days in a row, amirite?

Spanish Pinto Pie with Potato Crust

Have you seen Waitress? There’s a scene where Old Earl is chastising Jenna for her behavior a bit, and then proceeds to order the Spanish Dancer Pie with potato crust. As someone who loves food, my ears perked right up and I started wondering, what would MY version of that look like? Apparently I’m not the only one either - search Google for “waitress movie spanish dancer pie” and you’ll see some fun recipes.

Sweet Potato Vegan Curry with Edamame and Eggplant

I’m continuing on my bowl streak this week with a beautiful vegan sweet potato curry recipe. I’m loving one bowl meals lately, and curry is a perfect fit. Maybe I just can’t be bothered to spend a lot of time cooking when it’s hot out (who even wants to turn on the oven??), and quick one pot meals like this are perfect.

Italian Chickpea Bowl with Eggplant

I’m really feeling the bowls lately. What’s great about them is that you get whole grains, beans, and veggies all in one meal. They’re full of flavor, filling, and easy to make. My go to bowl “formula” is grains + beans and veg sauteed together (with seasoning and flavor-adds, of course).

Loaded Spicy Sweet Potatoes

I want to lose some weight, so I’m going full on healthy foods for a while (which means the blog recipes are too!). No more macarons for a bit :) The best way I’ve personally found to lose weight is to stick to five “food groups” - grains, beans, fruit, vegetables, and nuts.

Vegetable Curry with Edamame

This red curry has edamame and lots of colorful vegetables. Everything is sauteed with garlic and ginger in oil, then simmered in spicy curry sauce. The vegetables are bright and add lots of bulk in addition to the edamame. Served over rice, this vegetable curry is a perfect one bowl meal.

Wild Rice and Beans with Brussel Sprouts

You can for sure call this dish rice and beans, but this isn’t the dish people complain about having to eat because they went over their grocery budget. (Well, I hope anyway!) I used a japonica black wild rice with white navy beans, and tossed it with roasted brussel sprouts. The contrasting colors pop on this wild rice and beans dish, and everything is tossed a balsamic and chili pepper blend for a flavor that’s tangy and spicy.
