The ultimate Comfort Bowl loaded with spicy turmeric cauliflower rice, roasted sweet potatoes, greens, and the perfect 6 minute egg.
It rained today. A long, heavy rain that marks the end of summer for me. And the end of all the summer foods. I’m switching gears to focus on warmer, more nourishing meals to get us thought the cooler month.
I’m kicking off fall with some comfort food for you. It’s not really a recipe but an example of how I like to eat – all my favorite things together in one colorful bowl. Cozy, warm, and delicious.
Let’s run through what’s in this Comfort Bowl…
….cauliflower “rice” seasoned with turmeric, cayenne, and cinnamon. And finished with a bit of dried apricot.
…perfectly roasted sweet potato to balance out the spicy cauliflower.
…lightly steamed kale ribbons because you can’t ever eat enough greens.
…the perfect 6 minute egg. Not too hard. Not too runny.
…your fav sauerkraut.
…shredded beets.
…all drizzled with a creamy turmeric dressing that will make your mouth water.
So basically it’s all the good things wrapped into one comfy little bowl of goodness. Hearty, healthy, and nutrient-dense. I’ve been having a little moment with turmeric and wanting to put it on ALL THE THINGS. The creamy turmeric dressing has been a staple in the fridge and tastes good on just about EVERYTHING.
This bowl is the way that I like to eat. I don’t bother with fancy recipes. Just real food. Real simple. You can eat this bowl for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It fits the criteria for all the 3. Stay cozy this fall..
