Some of my bin customers heard about our challenges of with greens lately, especially spinach!  So, in light of that, my vegetable accompaniments have adapted to Mother Nature's recent attitude!  Here's what was on my dinner table the other night when Carlie and I enjoyed a beautiful staff meeting feast!

Roasted Root Vegetables

4 cups Cubed carrots, beets, parsnips, yams, squash, potatoes or any combination

3 tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 tsp rosemary (dried)

1 large clove garlic, minced

Combine all ingredients, place on baking sheet and roast in 375 degree oven until tender, about 20 minutes.  Stir half way through baking.

Toppings:

dash of cinnamon and nutmeg

dash of stevia, or splash of agave nectar or maple syrup

Here's how: Pour almond milk into small saucepan and add coconut oil, raisins.  Heat till oil is melted, and raisins are plump.  Add quinoa and hemp seeds.  Stir to combine.  Place in a bowl (or it you're like me, a transportable container so you can share it with your friends at work!), top with any combination of toppings!  Enjoy!
