I have been playing with some yummy recipes lately and it has been so much fun!
One sweet and notable dish, that is SO simple to make and so delish, comes from Kris Carr’s recipe book called Crazy Sexy Kitchen (just released this past November.) I was blessed to hear Kris on stage at Marie Forleo‘s Rich Hot & Happy’s conference, where we also got a copy of this book!!! Damn, that conference was so freakin’ badddd assss! So thankful to have had the chance to attend it!
Anywho, just in case you are getting bored with your menu choices. Here is a low-cost and low-time suck recipe for you to dig your winter paws into!
Root Veggies Delight!
- 3 carrots (or half a small bag of pre-cut carrots)
- 3 red potatoes
- 1 large yam or sweet potato
- 1 butternut squash (buy pre-cut! lesson learned trying to chop it on my own!)
- 1 cauliflower head
Spice mix
- 1 tsp. curry
- 1 tsp. chili
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Directions
- Set the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut veggies into 1 inch sized pieces.
- Drizzle some olive oil over the veggies.
- Drop them into the oven for 25-30 minutes.
- After they have softened, sprinkle the mixed spices over them and the turn ‘em over a little.
- Then, drop ‘em back into the oven for another 20 or so minutes. Taste to see if they are deliciously soft and ready to eat. Serves 6-8 people. Or, I like to keep them in the fridge and re-heat on the stove when I am looking for a quick snack!
My yummy root veggie delight!
My re-heat with brown rice! So yum. The dish can last up to a week!
Enjoy!
Hugs,
Jess
P.S. Please share some of your favorites with me. Something quick and easy, otherwise, my eyes literally roll to the back of my head when it is too long to make or I cannot pronounce an ingredient!
Also, here is a song I was listening to as I put this post together! I LOVE Little Dragon! I have been playing them in my yoga classes a lot!
I don’t know if you have a pressure cooker – but this is so easy and the best risotto I have ever tasted!

Hey Erin!
Thanks for this recipe. I freakin’ love risotto and butternut squash! Thanks for the recipe. I hope things are going well with life and work! Miss you darling!
Hi Jess, I found your blog on the Windsor Moksha facebook page. I’ve enjoyed reading it!
I’m really liking the recipes from the cookbook Supernatural Every Day. Everything I’ve made from it has turned out awesome. I can’t even count how many times I’ve made this pomegranate glazed eggplant already (You can get pomegranate molasses from any of the Arabic grocery stores on Wyandotte.)
A few other vegetarian go-to’s at my house are curried millet with chickpeas and coconut chickpeas. I guess I like chickpeas.
Hey Sam!
You are so sweet! Thanks for sharing you recipes. I must admit, I am totally into chickpeas, too! They are just so yummy and can go with everything! So, I just checked out Heidi’s site and I like! So simple! I also just checked out your site. Sweet! You are one inspiring woman! Way to go! I would lot to chat with you about your running! I am doing a half marathon this March and I am excited!
Looking forward to seeing you soon on the mat!
Hugs,
Jess
