Kasha Grain Bowl

I am enjoying trying out new recipes while I have more time to play with my food. The most recent experiment was a GRAIN BOWL featuring Bob's Red Mill Kasha (Roasted Buckwheat Kernels). I added chickpeas and roasted carrots with tarragon.

NOTE: This recipe is a great way to use leftovers. you can use veggies and protein that are already prepared. Each member in the family could have a different bowl and flavor their bowl the way they want it for that particular meal!

For this recipe I roasted the veggies ahead of time. I used chickpeas that I hydrated. If you use canned, rinse and drain the chickpeas.
