S & B Mexican Bowl

December, 2020

S & B Mexican Bowl

Why S & B might you ask? I created this recipe when I was running a cooking group on the Eating Disorders Unit with two patients (patient S and B) and we loved it so much that I promised I would write up the recipe and incorporate their initials in their honour. It could also stand for Spicy Bean Mexican Bowl
