Wellness Bowl with Creamy Avocado Dressing
Bowl:
1 sweet potato
1 can chickpeas or bean of your choice
1 cup brown rice
2 zucchini squash
½ cup onion
1 ½ cup lettuce
1/2 avocado
1 lemon or lime
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Paprika
Makes 2 servings
Dressing:
½ medium avocado
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp plain yogurt
Juice of ½ lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tbsp water
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Blend ingredients together to make a tasty creamy avocado sauce to top off your bowl.
Cook the brown rice to package instructions and preheat the oven to 425. Wash and peel your sweet potatoes and cut into diced chunks. Add to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and seasonings and add to a baking sheet lined with foil. Peel and chop the onion and zucchini squash into strips, then add onions to the baking sheet along with the diced sweet potatoes. Roast for about 25 minutes or until the edges of the potatoes are golden brown and they can be easily pierced with a fork. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add 2 tbsp oil, chickpeas, zucchini, and seasonings. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes. They are done when they’re slightly browning on the outside.
To serve, add brown rice to a bowl and add the roasted sweet potatoes, onion, chickpeas, zucchini, lettuce, and avocado. Drizzle your desired amount of dressing on top and garnish with cilantro if you like.

WIC Inspired Recipes – Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup onion, diced
2 tbsp garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
½ cup carrot, finely diced
1 green onion stalk, sliced
1 cup brown rice
1 head of cabbage
2 cups Tomato sauce
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Basil, Thyme, & Paprika
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare ingredients by chopping vegetables and cooking brown rice according to the package instructions.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the onions until golden, about 10 min. Add garlic, mushrooms, carrot, green onion, and seasonings. Cook until the veggies are tender, about 8 – 10 minutes. Stir in the brown rice and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, then remove from heat. Coat the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish with a thin layer of tomato sauce.
Core a head of cabbage and bring to a boil in a large pot, until the cabbage leaves start to come apart. Fill each cabbage leaf with 2 – 4 tablespoons of the rice and vegetable mixture (depending on the size of the cabbage leaves), then roll the leaf up like a burrito, tucking in each end. Continue filling the leaves until there is no more mixture left, line the filled and rolled cabbage leaves in the baking tray.
Cover with the remaining tomato sauce and cook for 45 minutes. Makes about 5 servings.
