The Bowl: just eat it

The Bowl: it's a staple of vegan life. You know, when you have some rice or quinoa, and some stuff to it, and then eat it. It's so much a staple that Appetite for Reduction has a section on The Bowl. Fully one-fifth of the non-beverage menu at my hometown vegetarian resto is about The Bowl. Really, The Bowl is just an opportunity for you to put some things you like altogether with some sauce or dressing, and eat to your heart's content. The thing is: it's also really, really, healthy. Unless you add two whole avocados, way too much dressing, or a bowl bigger than your head, your Bowl is likely to be ridiculously nutritious and satisfying.
The other thing about The Bowl is: it's so versatile, it's almost mid-boggling. You are limited only by what you feel like eating. If you have leftovers, you can probably make into a Bowl! My bowl tends to be the same, because I tend to pick up the same things when I feel like making a Bowl: quinoa base, red peppers (they're not my favourite but they're nutritious), eggplant, mushrooms, chickpeas, avocado and usually store-bought Italian dressing. This time, I went crazy and added arugula and caramelized onion, and left out the chickpeas and the avocado. And you can see I put on a Plate--I mean a plate--and not a bowl, for better photo staging. But it was still delicious! I've listed some additional ingredients below--I had to stop because my fingers got tired. But The Bowl is your friend--make from scratch, use up leftovers, make a make-your-own-bowl spread for dinner. However you do it, it's always delicious!
