This is cozy “cool weather” meal has warm (tasting) spices. The superb variety of vitamins and minerals (including anti-oxidant-rich vitamins A and C, and potassium) are provided by rainbow nutrition. Substitute root vegetables (turnips, parsnips, sweet potatoes) for earthy sweetness and tang that taste like autumn. Trader Joe’s Fresh Harvest Medley is a combination of yams, squash and turnips.
