Over the Rainbow Whole Grain Bowl

Posted on February 19, 2021 by Jen

You will go over the rainbow for this healthy, colorful grain bowl, featuring a pea mint sauce.

I love colors and always try to make my plate or bowl as colorful as possible. One chef who always inspires me is Giada De Laurentiis. Pea pesto crostini and pea mint crostini are just two of her standout recipes. These recipes were a great way to trick the kids into eating peas when they were little.

However, since we have moved to a plant-based diet focusing on seasonal fresh vegetables, whole grains, and very little oil, I wanted to modify a favorite recipe for a  lighter, healthier version.  

Here is how you can create a beautiful, healthy, rainbow grain bowl with ingredients you probably already have on hand!

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
