This vegan and gluten-free comforting & cozy fall power bowl is simple and incredibly satisfying. Sautéed curly kale and savory baby bella mushrooms, spicy tomato jam, warm brown rice, and fresh arugula are tucked, side-by-side, into extra roomy bowls. A generous drizzle of tahini and a spritz of fresh lime juice is the finishing touch that unites all the flavors as one.
Open up your eyes and hearts to a warm bowl of deliciously healthy comfort food. When the fall gets chilly, my food gets cozy. Not just cozy though, powerfully cozy. Powerfully cozy as in packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to provide a kick of energy and a nudge of sass. If you're wondering where the sass is coming from, I've got my bets set on that ruby-hued tomato jam. I've heard she's a tad fiery.
This bowl of vegetable goodness is simple and incredibly satisfying, especially when it's snuggled on your lap post-yoga session at the end of a chilly fall day. To make it, you'll nestle the following ingredients side-by-side in a bowl: sautéed curly kale and savory baby bella mushrooms, spicy tomato jam, warm brown rice, and fresh arugula. Then, you'll offer a generous drizzle of tahini and a spritz of fresh lime juice. Feel-good food at its finest.
