California Roll Lunch Bowl

California Roll Lunch Bowl

I hope you’ve been enjoying my mini-series on Lunch Bowls.  I’m a bit obsessed with portion controlled meals.  Mostly though, I’m quite fond of a theme.

It helps my brain get organized.

We recently celebrated National Crabmeat Day.  When Bowl Week meets Crabmeat a California Roll Lunch Bowl is born.

Lunch Bowls are a fantastic way to incorporate leftovers into a meal.  Cooked chicken has found a new sexy purpose.  Who among us??

Yet, for our California Roll Lunch Bowl, crabmeat was a key ingredient.  Not so good leftover.  We are fortunate to have competing grocery stores all about town.  One snow-crab cluster will set you back about $4.00 and 2 WW Pts+.  That’s winning.  Add a couple more points for rice, avocado, a drizzle of sesame soy srirachi dressing and this bowl weighs in at about 7 WW Pts+.
