Root Vegetable and Squash Bake
Sometimes I find it hard to cook naturally without having a plan. If I know what I want to cook before-hand, it makes things easier. Especially for recipes like this one, that has specific ingredients I wouldn’t have on hand. This was simple and rich. In season root vegetables and warm spices, grounding and smooth. I modified this recipe from Kitchen Medicine Cooking Medicine, a great resource for natural living topics.
Preheat your oven to 375 F
