To add flavor and panache, the tahini dressing completes the ensemble of goodness. This 100% plantfire recipe is comforting and fill-you-up good, yet feels so light and warm.

 

An all around meal that is so easy to put together. You can challenge your creativity in preparing this Quinoa Buddha Bowl because of so many ways you can make it your own.

A recipe that rocks its health benefits. Protein and fiber are powered by the quinoa. Broccoli provides calcium and a good source of antioxidants. Kale is a natural source of folate that promotes healthy infant brain development. And of course the yellow carrots…
