Makes 6
Ingredients:
4 ripe plantains
1 ½ cups Tigernut flour
1 ½ cups pureed butternut squash or pumpkin
1 cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp sea salt
Instructions:
Pre-heat waffle iron. Coat both sides of iron with coconut oil.
Peel plantains and then puree in high powered blender.
Combine the pureed plantains with the remaining ingredients and mix until well blended..
Scoop onto waffle iron and cook until waffle iron lets you know they are done.
Yummy by themselves or drizzled with coconut butter and topped with fresh berries. I like to make several batches and freeze. You can throw them in a toaster to re-heat on the run.
Happy Easter!
Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old sister science of Yoga, taught that certain foods ought not be combined with other foods if digestion is to be kept healthy and optimal. (Yes, Ayurvedic food combining was a thing thousands of years ago!) When you think about it, this only makes common sense. 
Your personality is intimately related to the day of the week you were born on… or so says traditional Myanmar astrology. I thought I would bring the Myanmar Zodiac home and share it with you and see what you think. The mystic in me always has fun learning about new ways of creating self-awareness and answering the questions all humans ask about why they are here and what they are meant to be doing. 
The shortest day of the year, the first day of winter, or Winter Solstice celebrates the power of faith. The faith we must have that the light will return. The faith we most hold that, like the sleeping seeds beneath the earth, our own seeds of creativity will once again sprout, grow, and bear fruit. This is the season to reach out to those we love and spend time in laughter, stillness, and communion. This is not the season of bustle, but the season of hibernation and rest. As the earth gently sleeps, so must we. All is in suspended animation.
