28 Days of Pilates: day 18 + Roasted Balsamic Veggie Bowl
Do you ever have days where you CRAVE vegetables?
Cravings are an indicator of a physical or emotional need and in this case I truly think my body was lacking nourishment. So I listened to my body and made a big, nourishing bowl of quinoa and roasted veggies.
Roasted vegetables are delicious and full of nutrients.
Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.
