Black Bean Burrito Bowl

Black Bean Burrito Bowl 1

It’s been a very good day. My parents are visiting all the way from Maine for the weekend, and little M couldn’t be happier to have even more attention than usual. Probably little M’s greatest joy is that Grandma and Grandpa found a steal of a deal at some liquidation store and found a Melissa and Doug kitchen set for $25. Whaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!

Needless to say, little M is revolting against all naps and routine and is busy playing with her new kitchen. Excitedly, she bustles around, wiping her little counters and opening and closing her new oven and refrigerator doors.

Little M Kitchen

Her behavior reminds me of my early cooking days–baking blueberry muffins every Friday afternoon. It was my assigned “chore,” but I was happy (more like over-joyed) to do it. I still remember excitedly licking batter (egg-free) out of the mixing bowl while waiting for my precious muffins to cook. I think I was around 9 years old??

So what do toddler kitchens and kiddish baking have to do with black bean burrito bowls? I honestly have no idea.

But who cares?

Is it even possible to go wrong with black beans, cilantro, lime, veggies galore, and brown rice or quinoa? Nope, I didn’t think so either.

And then, as if to seal the deal, you drizzle some vegan potato/carrot nacho sauce on top, along with a dollop of homemade vegan sour cream. Y to the YUM.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

    Love this burrito bowl, great flavors. Does your little cook prepare the same meals as you, so cute. Reminds me of my daughter at that age.

    Aw, thanks Cheri! Haha…I don’t know what little M is making in her kitchen. A few minutes ago she was baking some dollhouse furniture in her oven. Sounds tasty, doesn’t it?? ;) :D

    Oh Lindsay, now that I’m over morning sickness I want to try everything on this blog. I got all the ingredients to make myself a black bean burrito bowl tonight since hubby is working. Lots of good nutrients for the baby and great flavors for me. I am going to use the Cashew queso from Isa this time, but anxious to try the nacho cheese recipe you posted, too. Looks delish and I think the consistency looks better. Next up will be that apple bread you posted. Yum! Your blog is just awesome!! I’m going to spread the word. :)
