HOW TO BUILD THE ULTIMATE HEALTHY BREAKFAST BOWLS Begin your day with a well-balanced breakfast that’s packed with vitamins and protein. This post discusses my go-to method for creating the ultimate healthy breakfast bowls for a nutritious  way to jump-start your day. This post is sponsored by Rojo’s Salsa. How was your Thanksgiving, your Black Friday, and how’s that Cyber  Monday  going so far?  Truth be told, I’ve never been much of a shopper, and I have a strong aversion to crowds, so I tend to skip that portion of the weekend…although I do partake in holiday food and spirits awfully heavily.  My Thanksgiving was great!

SPRING VEGETABLE BUDDHA BOWLS WITH AVOCADO GREEN GODDESS DRESSING Roasted spring vegetable Buddha bowls with asparagus, radishes, golden beets, cauliflower, peas, and a creamy dreamy mayo-free avocado-based green goddess dressing.
