Roasted Curry Cauliflower Squash Garbanzo Bean

It is officially fall here, and that calls for turning the oven on to warm up the house. So I did a sugar fast a few weeks ago, and we were supposed to give up sweet potatoes for 21 days. I did, and through this fast, I gained a new love for squash. I do love and appreciate most vegetables for their plethora of nutrients so unique to each variety.

Who doesn't love curry for its smell, flavor, and great health benefits?   

As for cauliflower, this cruciferous vegetable is high in fiber as well as b vitamins. This vegetable provides antioxidants and phytonutrients that can protect you against cancer. Squash is its own unique source of zinc, helps decrease inflammation, highly alkaline, and a good blood sugar regulator. Hemp oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, also a source of vitamins A and E.

So I try to eat one day a week with no meat. I'm far from a vegetarian, but I think it's a good habit to keep.

Ok, on to the recipe. Happy meatless meal!
