Fresh Bouillon and a Buddha Bowl!

I love the concept of a “Buddha Bowl”. I also call it my “What I make for dinner when I don’t feel like making 

dinner” bowl. It is simple, nutritious, delicious and a great way to use what you have in the kitchen. 

There are also two recipes for raw staples included in this post, fresh bouillon and cauliflower rice. 

I found myself in that mindset yesterday. I started a quick batch of quinoa made with fresh bouillon

 (recipe follows) and threw together this tasty bowl with not much effort at all. I love the fresh flavors and the 

idea of an entire meal in one bowl? Oh ya.

I have done a few things for you with this recipe. First, I am including a recipe for fresh veggie bouillon. 

I love the flavor that a good bouillon adds to a dish. But the thought of using something that has been sitting 

in a jar for who knows how long and is laden with sodium is not always ideal. Best answer? Make your own! 

You won’t believe how good this is.

Most vegetable bouillon jars or cubes, you will find a combination of celery, onions, garlic, and carrots. 

Some add leeks, and other ingredients. Most have insane levels of salt.

You can whip your own fresh bouillon up quickly. You can also control the amount of salt you put in. 

There are a few fresh bouillon recipes on-line but many have up to a cup of salt in them. I want healthy, 

not heart stopping. And I wanted to use ingredients that you will hopefully have in your kitchen.

Fresh bouillon is the key to adding a pop of flavor. You can store the bouillon in the fridge for a few days 

but I like to make a decent sized batch and freeze it. Use an ice cube tray and you can freeze and thaw 

in serving sizes.
