Roasted Veggie Shawarma Bowls are a refreshing and tasty meal that’s plant-based! 

Are you watching it? 

The Outsider that is. 

I’m usually not big on horror-esque type of series or films, but this one is pretty damn good. The series is based on a Steven King book and is directed by Jason Batemen (love him). In a nutshell it’s about the boogeyman. 

The story is kind of genius because at first you think it’s a simple murder they will be investigating. BUT nope. The show keeps dribbling little clues that something is way messed up. GAH! I don’t want to give away too much, but seriously it’s so freaking good. 

Curious, what are y’all watching? I hear Marriage Story is good and The Irishman. I still need to finish The Crown and season three of the Marvelous Ms. Maisel. With a kid and my geriatric bedtime, I swear it’s going to take me until next year to get through my shows. 

Well, if I am going to drag out my television watching, I’m going to need something delicious to keep me occupied. Last year I asked if you guys wanted more plant-based recipes and the majority of you said yes. So, if you ask, you shall receive. These Roasted Veggie Shawarma Bowls are definitely loaded with veggies like – cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and chickpeas. 

But what I love more than anything is the flavor! Shawarma is my jam and if you aren’t super into veggies I promise you will love these bowls. Packed with turmeric, paprika, ginger, cumin, and more! Drizzled with a lemon tahini dressing……OH MY LORD.

Back to the show. Alright, who the hell is the guy in the green hoodie??!!
