Buddha Bowl



BUDDHA BOWL




This is a quick and easy dish to make! The longest part is making the rice but if you have a rice cooker. Set that up, and let it go. When you come home your rice will be cooked, and all you have to do is add a few more things to this dish, and whola it is DONE! 

Ingredients: 


  • 1 cup Brown rice cooked
  • Avocado
  • Salsa
  • Black beans
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Jerk seasoning
  • Chili seasoning


Cooking Instructions:


  1. Once your brown rice is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and jerk seasoning. I added 2 tablespoons of jerk and chili seasoning to my rice. You can add more if you like a stronger taste. 
  2. Heat up black beans on the stove. You may add some additional jerk seasoning to them if you like. 
  3. Chopp up your avocado, and any other vegetable that you would like to add to this dish. 
  4. Layer them in a serving dish, and serve! Whola! It's done!
You can change up this recipe in several different ways. Add spinach, or sautéed peppers. But for this meal I made it towards what my husband likes. My daughter LOVED it, she has already enjoyed this meal a few times already. Each time she prepares it she will find something else to stick on top of it. LOL

Yummy Zucchini Quinoa Bread

There is nothing like zucchini bread! I enjoy sinking my teeth into a slice with a nice hot cup of coffee. Yum Yum! But how does one enjoy zucchini bread when your on a health journey and giving up sugar amongst other things? Well, I did some research on making it from scratch and came up with my very own recipe! I can't wait to try it! The traditional bread has regular milk, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, and wheat flour to name a few. I took out all those ingredients and replaced it with much filling and healthier ingredient choices. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Matter of fact, I believe everyone should make this recipe and try it. Its good to get outside of your comfort zone and try something new. You may just shock yourself and find out it tastes just the same but more filling. Plus, not to mention we are bringing our buff back right? We will have to make some changes in out nutrition as we go along our journey. This recipe makes appro...

Rough Week

This week was a rough one for sure. You see my father-in-law Greg died this week shorty after our vacation up north. We did not expect him to leave us so sudden. Which led me to a little bit of emotional eating instead of dealing with my pain. When I recognized what I was doing I stopped, and assessed the situation. All I needed to do was to talk about happy memories, and cry a little bit. I feel like I am  a little numb on the inside...I can't let emotional eating steer me away from my goals no matter how painful a death can be. I know one day I will see him again in heaven. Until that day comes I need to focus on a healthier lifestyle, and reaching my weight loss goal. Not to mention I am sure he would be very sad if I did not stay my course.... I know death is hard to deal with when someone so close to you passes on. I can't express how painful it is until you actually have gone through a tragedy like this. Some people quit eating, others over eat, and its easier to no...

Homemade Quinoa Bread

This  quinoa bread is very simple to make. It is gluten-free, yeast free, and its vegan. Because you don't need to mess with yeast this makes this an easy bread to make. Only takes about 5-7 minutes to prepare, and 60 minutes to cook, and another 60 minutes to cool. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and take out your bread pan and grease it with a little bit of coconut oil. When I started this recipe I used my blender to blend the quinoa, gluten-free flour (I used gluten-free oats), baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend for a few minutes until the quinoa is grinder down into a fine flour and everything is mixed.  Next, I poured everything into my food processor but you could still use the blender too. Pour the flour from the blender, and add all the liquid; Almond milk, honey, and coconut oil. Blend again for a few minutes until everything is blended.  Transfer your bread mix into the prepared bread pan, and if ...
