This is a little powerhouse bowl filled with so many tasty flavors. I am starting to love “bowls” as much as my beloved salads. You could easily sub brown rice for the white but there is something about white rice with the ground beef. I don’t eat white rice often so I figure its ok every now and then. If you don’t eat read meat you could use ground chicken instead.
The flavors in the meat are complex- a touch sweet with some heat and spice and then creaminess from the coconut. Crazy good I tell you. The crisp veggies pair perfectly with the meat. Drizzle it all with some hot sauce and you have a kick ass dinner.
Side note- if you are serving this to kids I just left all the veggies off theirs and just served them the rice and meat.

I found the cutest embroidered dress at Old Navy this week. Use code ENJOY to save 30% off, making the dress only $22. It runs TTS, I am wearing an XS. The small fit too but I liked the fit of the XS better.
Embroidered Dress also comes in a tank top version
Also comes in a chambray version which I love. My store didn’t have this one but I am tempted to order.
The beef and veggie bowl looks yummy. It reminds me of Bibimbap- I bet it would be really good with strips of fried egg added!
Looks so good. I wish I could pin all your recipes from Pinterest!
what kind of curry paste do you use? We made it last night and it was crazy spicy (and we're not spice-averse!). It was really yummy though – we'll totally make it again, just less curry paste. Thx!
