Summer Veggie Power Bowl
I would like to lead by telling you this is not an “easy” veggie bowl, it takes time and patience considering all the wonderful ingredients and flavors it packs. It’s worth the wait and the veggies can be prepped ahead of time if you want to break up the prep time, serve it quickly for a meal or take to work.
