Confession: I’ve been pretty bored with food lately and I’m not really sure why. Meat, specifically. Besides my Moink box (and that bangin’ everything bagel salmon recipe from two weeks ago!), I haven’t really felt like eating much meat or fish at all. Weirddddd. Buddha Bowls to the rescue.

It’s been weird. A nutritionist and food blogger who is bored (and doesn’t feel inspired) by food? Maybe I’m just bored with my typical staples that I’ve been rotating, but I haven’t really felt like cooking at all either 🤷‍♀️ I’m bored with animal protein and don’t really feel like eating meat (very strange for me), anything with tomatoes I’m like ew no thank you (the Italian in my blood is screaming at me)…and no, chill out I’m not pregnant LOL. Maybe it’s time to bust out some of my old favorite recipes or cookbooks and do some experimenting. or maybe it’s just a part of listening to your body and waiting for the next thing that sounds good, and being okay with that.⠀

Luckily with my food blogger background, developing recipes has been doing some good to pull me out of the funk. Hands down OBSESSED with this Buddha Bowl and the many iterations I’ve been making lately. The most basic one: rice, roasted veggies, avocado, and hummus. And some arugula. And the most fancy one is pictured above. SO GOOD you guys. This is why leftovers are for the win. You think I actually take the time to make all this stuff every time I want a bowl? Nooope. It’s a one and done kind of deal. I’ll cook it all up one day, then have leftovers for days with different sauces and spice blends to mix it up a little.
