We wish you a very happy Diwali! 🕯️🎉 As 2020 comes to a close, the celebration of Diwali feels especially needed at this time. Diwali is a Hindu tradition of the festival of lights that celebrates the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. We celebrate by making lots of food (of course), and lighting ghee candles! |

What recipes do you make for Diwali? |
Each year, we make various dishes and desserts for Diwali. In the past, we've made moong dal halwa, ladoos, barfi, kheer, and others. This year, try these Mango Pedas from Lime Thyme for a sweet treat.

This baby was out of stock for a while! We are excited to welcome Bitter Melon back - available for purchase now, and with brand new packaging! Since during the holidays, we all consume more desserts that we ideally should, this traditional bitter food can help balance it off.

NO BIG DEAL, we are just over here obsessing about Alphonso Mango Puree. Did you know the Alphonso Mango (AKA "King of Mangoes") was banned in the US for decades for being too delicious? Just kidding, it was because of some trade deal and issues with imports, but it IS sinfully delicious, and we are going crazy for mango recipes. Check them out!

Help us protect medicinal plants! |
|
You may or may not know that I'm an herbalist, and as such, I am very interested in protecting medicinal plant life. In recent years, we've seen a resurgence in the interest in wild medicinal plants in mainstream culture, so it's more important than ever to protect these traditional resources, while still helping them to thrive so more people can access their unique benefits.
United Plant Savers works to protect native medicinal plants of the United States and Canada and their native habitat while ensuring an abundant renewable supply of medicinal plants for generations to come.

We also want to wish you a happy Thanksgiving, as you gather to celebrate in the coming weeks. We know that this Thanksgiving may look different as far has how you travel or what measures you take to get there. Some of you may be staying put and missing loved ones or enjoying time with those close by. No matter what you do this season, we wish you good health and happy cooking! :) |

Tried and True Holiday Recipe Ideas |
|
Ghee is truly lovely anywhere butter or oil is called for. Ghee keeps baked goods moist and gives that lovely buttery flavor. It also keeps things from sticking to cake pans and baking sheets and skillets. I adore ghee in cakes and brownies, as well as sponge cakes, biscuits (heavenly!), cornbread, any kind of cookie, as well as stovetop things like crêpes and pancakes.
Try...

|
Indian Dessert Ghee
Light flavor of fennel with just a touch of cardamom and saffron.
Imagine this in vanilla cake, any shortbread, in crepes, or cookies with golden raisins.
|
|
Digestive Ghee
Infused with cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger.
Honestly, this is Christmas in a jar. Add to cookies or pie. Stir into hot mashed sweet potatoes or baked apples.
|
|
Herbes de Provence Ghee
Savory, Thyme, Rosemary, Basil, Tarragon, Lavender.
Delicious in biscuits or with roasted lamb, hassleback potatoes, roasted root veggies, and squash.
