How Can Quinoa Stuffed Red Bell Peppers with Tarragon Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISBuild Warmth to Prepare for FallAs your body prepares for the frenzied fall season, you may begin to crave foods that are more heating in nature. The cool crisp mornings of August cue your body to shift from the light fare of summer towards the nourishing warmth of a red bell pepper and heartiness of quinoa. You might notice cravings for comfort foods increasing this time of year, especially when cold air masses start to descend from Canada. This dish is mild for all constitutions, but in excess the heat of bell pepper can aggravate Pitta's fire.CalmingThis dish is hearty yet light- a perfect intermediary between summer and fall. Its soft texture soothes while passionate red bell peppers warm your belly and leaves you feeling content. Cooked garlic and onions are relaxants that will make you feel comforted despite the dropping temperatures.Have Dairy without the ConsequencesTarragon, a hot bitter, balances some of the heaviness in the goat cheese for sluggish Kapha constitutions aggravated by too much dairy. Goat cheese is less mucousy and easier to digest than cheese made from cow's milk. If you still feel a little scratch in the back of your throat or stuffy nose the morning after eating Quinoa Stuffed Red Bell Peppers, add extra black pepper or simply omit the goat cheese. Add a few extra almonds to replace the protein. WHY SHOULD YOU EAT AYURVEDICALLY?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized.
