Life {and Food} in Technicolor
Sometimes all Monday needs is a splash of color. This Thai Rainbow Quinoa Bowl was just the spritz of color I needed to put an extra pep in my step for the last working Monday of the year! Let that sink in for a second. Last Monday in the office. Now go ahead and give into that mental “raise the roof”. You know you wanna. In this week’s meal prep, a bed of quinoa gets a burst of color from rainbow carrots, red cabbage, curly kale and spring peas, plus a snap of satay-inspired flavor with a creamy peanut sauce. Get the lowdown on why eating the rainbow matters and sashay to that recipe below.

Veggie Pow
Dear Monday, I refuse to let you be boring. And this Kung Pao Veggie Fried rice delivers just the pow needed to kick start the week. Salty, spicy, sweet…need I say more? Cauliflower rice is anything but new – this version of veggie fried rice is all about the scintillating sauce…and the summer vegetables like sweet corn, yellow squash and zucchini that give this healthy version of takeout a fresh twist. Soak up this sauce and the last drops of summer with the recipe below.

Roast It Real Good
When there’s bacon fat in the dressing…you KNOW it’s gonna be good. I’m still lapping up summer, but fall football has got me roasting up this Autumn Quinoa Bowl with golden butternut squash, ruby red beets, toasted pecans, peppery arugula and you guessed it, BACON! I’ll admit that I’m not a huge fan of bacon (shocker!), but when I do fry it up, it’s gonna be WORTH IT! And there’s no skimping on this one – turkey bacon is cheating – when I splurge, I splurge on the good stuff. Pony up and get yourself some of that sweet bacon laden goodness below.
