Roasted Veggie Quinoa Bowl

 

I love bowls! Not only are they pretty, but they're a great way to mix in a bunch of flavors, and fit in all the different food groups into one dish. This one is great for lunch, because you can just stick all your ingredients in the oven, and then get ready for work or school.
