Jujube Crisp with Raw Almonds

A lightly sweetened crisp that makes everyone happy at breakfast time, served with a few spoonfuls of plain yogurt. For dessert, top with your favorite ice cream or whipped topping. Both ways, it’s best warm.
Select fresh and firm jujubes that are mostly green or at least partly green. Once they are mostly or all red, they are starting to shrivel and won’t be suitable for this dish. 

Strengthen Your Resolve with Healing Herbs and Foods

Raise your hand if it feels like we are facing more adversity in our lives these days. You know the signs—anxiety, edginess, fatigue, insomnia. Stress accounts for a good share of illness today, but it’s been with us since the beginning of human life. Only the stressors have changed.

Ginger Curry

by Siri Ved Kaur

Soothing and delicious both in health and "dis-ease," ginger curry is recommended for anyone who needs to rebuild their energy and nervous strength, especially when ill or post-partum.

Because ginger is helpful for clearing the uterus, this Ginger Curry is recommended as the main food for new moms during the first three days post-partum until her milk comes in. It may be served as a soup with toast or with rice. I love Ginger Curry with Lemon Rice (page 186, From Vegetables with Love).

Jalapeno Pancakes

Jalapeno chilies are extremely high in vitamin C. These spicy pancakes help to build resistance to colds and flu. Also known as "anti-smog pancakes," these help to overcome the ill effects of living in a polluted environment. The amounts of spices may be increased, if you are so inclined.

Founder of Spirit Voyage Records and CEO of the international Sandler Training Institute based in Virginia, he’s considered one of the most sought-after global sales trainers in the high-tech/software industry.

Beet and Carrot Casserole

This is one of the first recipes Yogi Bhajan gave us. This dish is cleansing to the liver and the digestive tract. To help your body do its own inner cleaning, eat it as a mono diet for one week in the Spring or Fall.

Yogi Bhajan's Trinity Rice

Three potent roots, known as the Trinity Roots, are essential for cleansing, sustaining, and producing energy in the body. The beneficial effect of each of them separately is amplified when they are cooked together.

 “The three roots—garlic, onion, and ginger—will maintain you through the times and through the age.” ~Yogi Bhajan
