Mix and Match Bowl

Don’t know what to have for dinner? 

How about a scrumptious bowl of...well...anything you like. You can throw this meal together with whatever your heart desires. Or whatever is in your fridge. Like those leftovers that don't quite make a full meal, and you don't know what to do with...

Mix and Match Bowl

Any combination of the following:

base of greens

rice, quinoa, pasta, any grain

beans, lentils 

sweet potatoes, white potatoes 

fresh and/or steamed veggies 

fruit 

nuts, seeds, avocado 

hummus, dressing, sauce 

A few ideas: 

#1 Quinoa, Black Beans, and Sweet Potatoes 

romaine lettuce 

quinoa cooked in vegetable broth 

black beans 

steamed sweet potatoes 

steamed mushrooms 

carrots, red bell pepper, celery 

avocado 

#2 Kale, Quinoa, and Orange 

kale 

quinoa cooked in vegetable broth 

carrots, bell pepper, cucumber

orange
sunflower seeds  

If you have done some batch cooking and prepping, then these are very easy to throw together. I made both bowls from foods I had prepped at the beginning of the week. (I wrote about batch cooking here.) If you don't have them all ready, just throw some quinoa in your rice cooker, steam/chop some veggies, open a can of beans...lots of possibilities. 

And you thought you didn't have anything for dinner!
