CAULIFLOWER BLACK BEAN BOWL WITH KALE GUACAMOLE
Mary Beth Johnson is a wife and mum to four schooners, as she’s dubbed her children. On a normal afternoon, you would find her in moccasins, skinny jeans and a comfortable tee, camera in hand. Recently moving to the suburbs of Atlanta, Mary Beth spends her days homeschooling, sneaking away to the bookstore, trying to act the part of a southerner, and sifting through recipes in The Vegetarian Times. Food is her love language.
We were out of the country last week and I had my fair share of croissants, sandwiches, and lattes to fuel all of the walking. 😉 We had the most amazing dinners by candlelight with fresh seafood, local cheeses, and wine, with memories that will last a lifetime. But about halfway through the week I could tell my body was craving more water (they charge you for it in a lot of European restaurants) and a detox coming on when we got back home. Now that we’re back and I’m over jet lag, I’ve started getting into my routine of prepping salads for the week and roasting veggies for easy snacks. I thought I would share one of my favorite detox meals that makes an easy weeknight dinner and is SO good you don’t feel like you’re missing anything. It makes two servings, so I made myself this for dinner and saved the other bowl in the fridge for lunch the next day. I can’t explain how welcoming it is to open the fridge on a busy day and pull something out that’s already prepared.
