Bowls are just the best. Especially when they’re full of poke and drizzled with lots of sauce.
Last Monday, the BCP girls gathered for the first day of a two day meeting. Now, feeding is definitely not a requirement of hosting a BCP meeting. But, this time the meeting was by Shaindy, and she always surprises us with these gourmet delicious things (and the rest of us are supposed to be the ones in the food industry). And this time, it was these post-worthy Poke Bowls.
What’s a poke bowl? If you’re cool with sushi, then you’ll love poke. A poke bowl is simply a salad with seasoned raw fish. They’re beautiful and delicious and gaining lots of popularity right now.
