Glazed Sweet & Spicy Pecans
This recipe was modified from the Southern Favorite, Cajun Spiced Pecans.ayurveda notes
Nuts are dry and difficult to digest. They must be thoroughly chewed. Vata body types should sip warm water when eating dry nuts to avoid dehydration and dry stomach syndrome. Cayenne aids digestion.
Butternut Squash Soup with Fennel, Ginger & Garlic
Tri-root is ginger, garlic and onion, a combination used ubiquitously in Asian cooking. Lime and black pepper add sour and pungent to the sweet buttery taste. Fennel adds a kick of flavor.ayurveda notes
Fennel and fresh ginger are perfect digestives, stimulating blood flow to the GI tract without irritating Pitta. Lime, like all sours, increases secretions and is moistening for dry Vata especially in the autumn. Garlic and yellow onions ground Vata and calm the mind.
Butternut squash is sweet, works well for weak digestion and softens the GI. When digestion is weakened by cleansing and purification the diet should be simple and easy. Butternut squash with mild spices like ginger are a good transition food back to health.
Cumin with Milk & Honey
ayurveda notes
Helps secretion of breast milk.
Butternut Squash Soup with Rosemary & Thyme
Rosemary lends a rustic feel to the sweet, orange butternut squash.ayurveda notes
Add enough black pepper and rosemary to give the butternut squash a warm feel - that will help drive the sweet nourishing ojas of the butternut to the whole body. Add turmeric for a great skin tonic helping dryness.
