Ayurveda diet

Cookies are often associated with the holidays, when many of us participate in cooking rituals and gather to share food.  But in this age of fake food and fad diets, some holiday treats can leave us thinking less about pleasure and more about guilt and stress. It’s in the spirit of healthy holiday baking that I look to my spice rack during this time of year.

As a country, we’re becoming increasingly more aware of what we eat, and how what we eat makes us feel. The past few years have seen a rise in the popularity of many diets advocating a return to real, whole foods, and prompting us to listen to our bodies. Dietary choices such as Paleo, vegan, raw, and the hormone diet mark a turn away from processed foods and towards a more natural way of eating.
