Maybe it was Restaurant Week, but something had me yearning for simple, healthy food last week. I then opened the cookbook I'd been both shunning and lauding, Super Natural Cooking. I'd had partial success with her recipes, and while many looked good, I wasn't always inspired.Then I made these sushi bowls.
The note about sauteing mushrooms in the sidebar, the frozen edamame lonely in the side pocket of the freezer, the avocado that tasted great but was clearly cold-burned (see the lines in the picture) ... all of these inspired me to whip up these bowls.
Yes, brown rice may cost 5.99 for a pound at a market, but it was worth it.
The citrus soy vinaigrette, the cream of the avocado with the crunch of sesame and vegetal note of nori - we ate through our bowls as though they were endless. And got up for more.
I don't often make one-pot meals, but this one is a winner. The chunky lentil soup too - cooked long and topped with parmesan and good olive oil, these helped us recover from excess.
Until we went out for Liam's birthday on Friday. Lobster poached in butter and I was a goner again.

I just got that cookbook, too. It's beautiful but there is something very pretentious about it as well. It's like the cult of healthy food porn.
