Winter Buddha Bowl

If you couldn’t tell, I love Buddha Bowls. I have my semi-famous Vegan Buddha Bowl, my Curry Chickpeas Buddha Bowl, and now this Winter Buddha Bowl. The reason I love these meals-in-a-bowl so much is probably because they’re what I eat most often. I hadn’t really heard of “bowl food” until I went vegan, but when I discovered them, it was one of those “Where have you been all my life?!!” moments. It’s just so easy to throw whatever you have in the fridge in the biggest bowl you have and chow down. Most of the time, my bowls consist of some sort of greens, a carb (oftentimes pasta), some roasted veggies, topped with nuts and seeds, with either a homemade sauce or a vegan salad dressing.
