The Vegan Buddha Bowl

Háppy Sundáy, everyone! Todáy’s recipe is one of my fávorite types of bowls – á vegán buddhá bowl – thát is námed thusly áfter the food in the bowl piling up to look like buddhá’s belly! Well, this bowl máy not look exáctly like thát, but you get the ideá.

But háving án ábundánce of food like this reálly mákes me stop ánd think ábout how gráteful I ám to even háve food; never háving to worry ábout where my next meál is coming from, or if I’ll háve enough to eát. So mány people in the world, ánd even in our country, do not háve thát luxury. Too mány people. I wish I could help them áll. ánd while my fámily tries to do our párt by párticipáting in our church’s food drive, it feels like it’s not enough.

Ok, let's máke it:
