Happy Bowls with Coconut Turmeric Rice

Happy Bowls!!!

Bowls are a favorite in our house for dinner and I make this rice as our base. We top the rice with different veggies + meat = happy bowl. Some of our favorite combinations are

ground lamb+ brussel sprouts + carrots

hamburger meat + squash/zucchini

steak + asparagus

chicken + broccoli

You can really add any meat and veggie combo to your liking.  This rice is a staple in our frig for dinner bowls or an easy weeknight side. The kids love assembling their own bowl, brings them a sense of pride and as you know~if they make it they eat it 😉 !

I always chop up a variety of toppings and leave them on the cutting board for assembly (arugula or lettuce, sprouts,  cherry tomato, cucumbers, radish, salsa, guacamole, etc….

Make a Happy Bowl, I promise you’ll love it!! Take a picture of your bowl, and tag @happy_places on Instagram.
