Bowl of Lunch: Squash



We lunch often, right Heik? I mean, sometimes we go to Simple, but mostly we put stuff in a bowl. It doesn't sound fancy, but it is. 
This particular bowl is a squashy, tomatoey, oniony bowl. So good. So, so good. 

I think healthy eating gets lost. We lose ourselves in complicated recipes. We just keep searching for a healthier version of a brownie. Then, it's lunch time and you're just hungry. A flour-less, egg-less, chocolate-less, love-less brownie won't save you now! 
You need some real life options. I suggest experimenting with Bowls Of Lunch. 
If you fuel yourself with powerful and clean food all day, then you can just eat a regular brownie for dessert. As my wise Grandma would say, "All you need is a taste". Meanwhile, bring life and color and excitement to clean eating. It doesn't even feel like a sacrifice if you put a little love in it. 


Bowl of Lunch: Squash


You'll need:
A buttercup squash, pealed and sliced
A thing of grape or cherry tomatoes halved
A white or yellow onion sliced in to rings (or strips if you can't handle it) 

3 tsp oregano
olive oil (wing it) 
S&P
Cooked brown rice or Quinoa (pasta works too) 

Set your oven to 375
Start with tossing your squash with a splash of olive oil and some salt. Lay each piece evenly on a greased and lined pan and roast for about 50 min until it's soft through and starting to get a nice golden crisp. 
In a medium mixing bowl, toss tomatoes olive oil and oregano together and coat evenly. Give it a little salt and pepper and spread it evenly on a lined and greased baking sheet. Roast them for 20 minutes, stirring them half way through. 
Once those two things are in the oven, sauté your onions until translucent. 

When all of your timers go off, assemble your bowl over some rice and add a bit of S&P to taste. The tomatoes should give it enough moisture to feel like a sauce. Happy Bowling!
