That's a mouthful to say! It's got so much going on! This tasty colorful comfort food bowl full of vitamins and protein is very satisfying. Maybe I should add in some avocados and I would have all my favorite foods in one bowl! Mmmmmm. You can make this bountiful bowl with the root vegetables that you may have roasted on the previous day, like I did. Yes this bowl could be using up items that you may already have open in the fridge like those beans from your soup, salsa, or tacos. The leftover mushroom gravy quinoa with peppers and onions from the night before. Pesto you already made or have purchased in a container. Regardless of how you get the ingredients together it will be a bowl full of yum! Of course if you are using up leftovers that makes it super easy. Many other produce items can be substituted for what you have on hand. Get creative! If you have to start from scratch here is the rundown. This would make a great lunch meal for work too!
