Creamy Fall Curry with Sweet Potato

Creamy Fall Curry with Sweet Potato for Meatless Monday! Scroll down for the recipe.

Fall has me wearing flip flops, or grabbing a sweater…it’s this time of transition in nature & within ourselves. What we are craving on our plates is a reflection of what our bodies are needing for nourishment – not talking about french fries lol.
Seasonal foods are an essential part of balancing mind/body during this time. Maybe you’re craving a salad or a smoothie on those sunny days, or a comforting warm meal when the temps drop.
I whipped up this creamy curry for lunch today with veggies from my Farm Fresh to You box (#ad). It’s got sweet potato, carrots, and red bell pepper – as well as spices like garam masala, cumin, & coriander with coconut milk.

Comfort foods, routine (meditation is my anchor), & a helluva lot of moisturizer is how I embrace the Fall season. How about you?
