Having 3 small kids at home and 3 businesses means I cant take hours to create elaborate and complex dinners which is why bowls are the BEST and easiest dinners to make and meal prep for the week! This specific recipe can be made vegan and is a regular in our home and my kids LOVE it!
It only requires a handful of ingredients and takes 20 minutes start to finish to cook and prepare. I know right!? I usually triple the recipe to have enough for a few days lunches.
BOWL INGREDIENTS:
*These ingredients can all be prepared separately and stored in separate containers for quick assembly during the week. Prepare and season these separate components to your taste/preference.*
