This is ultimate comfort-food has warm-tasting spice and toasty color. The super-star vitamins and minerals (including anti-oxidant-rich vitamins A and C, and potassium) are provided by yellow-orange rainbow nutrition. For variety, try the earthy sweetness and tang of other root vegetables such as turnips, parsnips and sweet potatoes in place of white, red or gold potatoes. You can choose to leave thin skins on for extra fiber.

Try Trader Joe’s Fresh Harvest Medley, a combination of yams, squash and turnips, for quick and easy preparation! An HMR entree plus veggies daily is the perfect New Year resolution for your healthy table.
