There's something about a veggie bowl that makes the mouth water, with all those delish flavors and incredible textures in one bite. Skinnytaste gives us all we want; tofu coated not once, but twice, in earthy, nutty garlic sesame sauce. Fresh broccoli steamed with garlic, and a bed of rice for it all to lay on. (And to sop up any extra sauce.) You want flavor, you want ease… you want this Skinnytaste rice bowl. Gina Homolka, recipe developer and author of Skinnytaste, best-selling cookbook series and popular food blog, offers approachable takes on balanced, home-cooked meals.
