Vegetarian Brown Rice Buddha Bowl!

Vegetarian Brown Rice Buddha Bowl

I have just stumbled across the world of Buddha Bowls!! What the heck is a Buddha Bowl you might ask....

Buddha bowls, sometimes referred to as glory or hippie bowls, are hearty, filling dishes made of various greens, raw or roasted veggies, beans and a healthy grain like quinoa or brown rice. Sometimes they also include toppings like nuts, seeds and dressings for added texture and flavor.

So there you go.....that's a Buddha Bowl! It is really popular in the vegan world and I have been wanting to try them for weeks now. So this week I'll be sharing recipes each night for my different creations. First up is the Vegetarian Brown Rice Buddha Bowl.
