Until recently I had no idea what a Buddha Bowl was, but lately I’ve seen it on quite a few American blogs and it caught my attention. It is nothing more than a bowl so full of food that it has the appearance of a protruding belly like that of a Buddha. I also read that it is usually made from simple, wholesome foods and should be enjoyed with gratitude.
Since I was little I have loved potatoes and there is no way to prepare them that I do not like, although I usually cook them in the oven or steam them. Lately I have incorporated the sweet potato into my diet and I am in love with this spectacular tuber.
