Hearty Harvest Buddha Bowl {Vegan}

Hearty Harvest Buddha Bowl {Vegan}

Typing up this recipe, all I could think of was the “Big Salad” Seinfeld episode.  If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you check it out ASAP.  A little teaser of the script below….
George: Sure, all right, what do you want?
Elaine: Um, hum, I don’t know.. . . A big salad?
George: What big salad? I’m going to the coffee shop.
Elaine: They have big salads.
George: I’ve never seen a big salad.
Elaine: They have a big salad.
George: Is that what I ask for? The BIG salad?
Elaine: It’s okay, you don’t…
George: No, no, Hey I’ll get it. What’s in the BIG salad?
Jerry: Big lettuce, big carrots, tomatoes like volleyballs.

I’m literally laughing out loud reading that!

Any-who, BIG salads, are my new lunchtime love.  A lot more of these will be coming your way soon.  But to kick it off, here is one I made this week.  And yes, I know it isn’t fall right now, but that will never stop me from eating all this harvest goodness!  ENJOY!!! XOXOXO
