Can we stop and talk for a second how insane in the membrane the weather has been? As you know, I am a weather woman-wannabe, and GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL. It was in the 40’s for a whole week straight (7 DAYS) in Minneapolis, MN, which is basically Canada…where the temperatures are suppose to be -40 at the time of year. Looking out my window I see no snow…none at all! It makes me sad. A lot of people think that Minnesota in the Winter is HORRIBLE because of the weather, well I’m here to tell you that I’ve lived in the midwest for the majority of my life and that’s what makes the midwest so great! 4 seasons. We have the best summers because of a thing called winter. Anyways, Team Fit Foodie has been doing lots of little things to reduce our carbon footprint so that we can make our way into 2017 as a healthier, more eco-friendly business. Less food waste, more recycling, and GREENER products. I urge you guys to do the same thing whether you believe in Global Warming or not– it’s good for both the planet and you personally.

Well that was an unexpected rant, but necessary one!

I didn’t think I was a sauce girl until I started a blog 6 years ago and realized that I put sauce on everything. Secret sauce, ketchup, bbq sauce, peanut butter (if you count it), KUNG PAO SAUCE. Most of the time when Linley and I are at Fit Foodie HQ, we have some sort of bowl for lunch. AKA we throw whatever we have in the fridge into a bowl and put sauce on top. Sort of how this Vegetarian Kung Pao Quinoa Bowl was born.

This bowl is zi perfect bowl for meal prep! You got your…

• veggies
• grain
• crunchies
• sauce

That’s right…remember our Greek Goddess Dressing and Sauce from last week? We used cilantro instead of basil and added a little bit more olive oil to thin it out for the most perfect green sauce for this bowl.
