While I loved the company, food, and reading Twitter analyses of every commercial on Super Bowl Sunday, I’ve got to say that I’m partial to bowls of a different sort.
In an attempt to use up what I’ve already got stocked in the kitchen (what else is knew?), dinner last night looked like this.

That would be a bowl layered with spinach, butter, whole wheat gnocchi, kidney beans, and salted sunflower seeds. Weird combination – maybe – but it worked.

Breakfast this morning was a bowl I haven’t had since summertime…or since the last time I made it, for that matter. Sweet Potato Pie Oatmeal.

(Topped with coconut butter “fluff.”)

Super Bowl is cool, burrito bowls are even better, but these bowls are definitely in the ranking.
Think fast - what’s the last thing you ate out of a bowl?

Yogurt with frozen berries for dessert last night!

Those oats look yummy! Last thing I ate out of a bowl….Oats.Oats.Oats. Mmm, haha.
Greek yogurt with Puffins and a banana - my breakfast today!
Coconut butter fluff?! I’m intrigued!
It’s actually just melted coconut butter! I said “fluff” because the last time I made it I used marshmallow fluff (since sweet potatoes are often topped with marshmallows!)
I celebrated Super Bowl Sunday by eating all of my meals out of bowls. The typical stuff like oatmeal wasn’t that different, but I must say, chocolate cake is way better eaten out of a bowl

I was wondering why the old sweet potato oats post came up in my reader this morning…
Oatmeal this morning!
I had a bowl of this (http://sprinkledwlove.com/2011/01/12/sayonara-oatmeal/) for breakfast this morning. It is super delicious, although your oatmeal looks DIVINE! I will definitely be making it this weekend.
I had a bowl of egg whites, sauteed spinach, and hummus! Delicious!!

I’m a HUGE fan of meals in bowls. I had a warm grain bowl (brown rice and barley) with edamame and white beans last night!

Mmm, I definitely love eating things out of bowls. The last thing I ate out of one was oatmeal with peaches and peanut butter, aka, yesterdays breakfast.
A salad and a soup at Panera last night for dinner! I love their salads!
Last thing in a bowl? I’d have to guess ice cream. I’m a firm believer in a bowl every night

If I could I would eat everything out of bowls. They are definitely my favourite dish.

Ooooh now I’m craving gnocchi! I haven’t had it in so long.
The last thing I had out of a bowl was popcorn!
I have never had gnocchi but I hear it is good - I keep forgetting to try it!

I am a HUGE fan of bowls. They’re my favorite go-to dinner. Tonight, as per usual, I started with a cooked sweet potato, mashed it up, and added some chicken breast, a spoonful of carrot salad, spoonful of roasted beat salad, and a sprinkling of feta and micro greens. It was pure bliss.
