I’d like to introduce you to my happy meal. This warm buddha bowl with garlicky tahini sauce is my ultimate comfort food of all. This plate is a combination of warm and cold ingredients brought together with this tangy tahini dressing is a heaven on a plate. So simple and so nourishing, it has everything you need for a hearty lunch or dinner. It is absolutely perfect! Turmeric sweet potatoes go so well with the creaminess of avocado and the nutty flavor of tahini. Beware mac and cheese, new comfort food is in town and it’s here to stay.
