Buddha Bowls

My friend Cori raved about this healthy and LICK-THE-BOWL-GOOD recipe.  I knew Allen and I would like it, but wasn't sure about my kids. 

This is an exact quote from my teenage son, Brigham, after he took one bite: "Can I eat Mollie and Calvin's and they can just have cold cereal for dinner?"


Mollie and Calvin were out sledding, which is why I had pre-dished up everyone's bowls--so I could set theirs aside (also, I should have realized that chopsticks would NOT work for quinoa--we all switched them out for forks.  But aren't they pretty?  Allen's little brother, Kevin, brought these home for us after his two-year mission to Japan).

Brigham on his second bowl . . .

EVERYONE loved it.  And Allen, Brigham, and I all had seconds--Mollie and Calvin were none the wiser.

The peanut sauce reminds me of a line from the musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown: "With this sauce, you could eat erasers!"

Oh, it's so good.  I especially love the roasted sweet potatoes and the chicken (I used boneless, skinless thighs) cooked with the garlic and ginger.  It was so satisfying--something I'm adding to my regular repertoire of meals.
