If you knew me 3 years ago, you’d know that I primarily lived off bulk beans and rice. I’d make a pot of beans and a shitload of rice on the weekend and then eat it all week. I’d spice each bowl, or add a dollop of veganaise or BBQ sauce. YUM. Never got tired of that shit.
I’m proud to say that yes, I have evolved! I present to you my rendition of the past:
NEW & IMPROVED: Borealis Bean Bowl!
Ingredients:
• pinto beans
• garbanzo beans
• quinoa
• spinach
• salsa & sour cream
Highlights:
-I used bulk beans, but I suppose canned beans would be OK. I’m a very avid believer that dried beans that soak overnight and then cooked for a while have the best flavors. No canned nasty in there.
-I served these along side some warmed up corn tortillas and made me some little tacos.
How I did ‘em:
Warm up cooked beans, and already made quinoa. Serve hot over a bed of spinach, letting the warmth of the beans wilt the spinach. Top with favorite condiments and serve. I used sour cream and salsa.

Woodz and I got our new driver’s license’s in the mail. Name change is totally complete and it only took 3 1/2 months. *whew* Right in time for our 6th month ‘married’ anniversary! yay us!
We got a bag of sweet potatoes from Trader Joe’s and they sat on top of the fridge for a couple weeks. I was totally not inspired so I asked my vegan friends over at the Post Punk Kitchen forums for some help. I got so many yummy suggestions!
I went with a super simple idea:
boiled sweet potatoes with butter and a smidge of brown suger
fresh basil
tempeh
all served over a bowl of couscous, and a layer of fresh spinach… with a dallop of veganaise.
