Too busy to make dinner at home? I got you covered. In under 30 minutes? Yes I got you.
The Busy career woman or man.
The busy mom or dad, trying to get the kids fed.
The couple wanting to cook together and enjoy a warm dinner bowl together. Lets be honest, nothing beats a home cooked meal. Occasionally, I enjoy dressing up, making dinner reservations and going the whole nine yards. Most days though, I enjoy playing my favorite spotify playlist and cooking together with my husband. Its therapeutic, let me tell you. Open up a bottle of wine, be goofy, dance while your sauce is simmering, be yourself.
Can you tell I’m advocating for and praising the home cooks? Not only is it fun, its clearly more affordable. These salad bowls feeds two adults and we still had some left overs for our little girl. Probably costs us twenty dollars to shop. Organic Turkey breasts. Some fresh crisp Kale from our local farmers market. Fresh basil from our patio potted garden and everything else was a pantry item. I bet you twenty bucks you cannot feed two adults and a baby at a restaurant with ingredients this fresh.
Remember my suya spiced oven baked chicken? Well that spice blend is now my trusted go to for meats and fish! Tightly sealed, properly stored you best believe it will come in handy in the nearest future.
WHATS IN MY BOWL?
This is a quick dinner, that is hearty, clean and downright good for you. Nutty, pan grilled turkey breast, with a little char and finished off in the oven. Sauteed greens of your choice to complete your plate, but I choose Kale. Simply blanch and saute with some fresh onions and garlic,. Greens covered. A side of couscous; cooked with some butter infused olive oil and fresh herbs brings in a whole ‘nother level of flavor. I call this my power bowl!

Wholesome bowl to nourish thy body. Let me know how you like this one, I love hearing your feedback on what you are cooking from the Afrovitalityeats Kitchen
PS: This one of those meals where you have three things going at the same time. Don’t you be frightened now, there is nothing hard about boiling your eater for couscous and blanching your kale on the other burner right? You want everything nice and warm.
