It’s Monday! Another day to bring you a Meatless Monday recipe. I love creating meals like this for my family. It’s packed with nutrients and flavor! The fun thing about this dish is the amount of customization. You can let your kids or family members pick their favorite veggies and toppings.

Today’s meatless meal is a grain bowl. Grain bowls are all the rage nowadays. They’re entirely meal made with a grain base, proteins, vegetables, sauce, and toppings. I love the combination of flavors and texture!

I didn’t feel like cooking a big meal for our small family. I had some leftover potato medley from a couple of days ago. I thought it would serve as a great veggie option for my grain bowl!
