Bowls for a Crowd

Chopping up a bunch of veggies for dishes like this Chicken Fajita Bowl can seem like a massive nuisance if you’ve got to do all the work by yourself. If you’re cooking with a family, however, veggie-full bowls suddenly become a piece of cake! (Well, not literally…) If you’ve got small kids, investing in some kid-friendly vegetable knives is a nice way to give them a helpful job that lets them safely practice knife skills.
