YEAR OF THE TIGER
In Chinese astrology the tiger is one of the most dynamic and powerful
signs. Its nature is unpredictable, courageous, and explosive.
Therefore, the year of the Tiger is usually associated with big changes
and social disorder; 2010 is likely to be a turbulent year, both on a
global and personal level. It's best to meet these challenges directly and be proactive about your health as you will be all the stronger
for it by year's end.

TWO EASY SNACK RECIPES
|
The days still feel long and we are needing
snacks that are healthy, creative and do not need much preparation.
These healthy, hardy snacks will keep us energized as we await longer
days and warmer weather.
Fruit Fingers for Children and Toddlers 1/4 cup of apple sauce 1/2 cup of maple syrup 1 egg beaten 3/4 cup of carrots and/or apple grated 2 small bananas mashed 1 cup of flour (can substitute spelt four) 11/4 tsp baking powder pinch of salt 1/2 cup of raisins, dried cherries or other dried fruit 1 tsp of orange or lemon zest
Pre heat oven to 350F
Mix dried ingredients: flour, salt and baking powder- set aside. Mix
apple sauce with maple syrup in a bowl. Gradually beat in the egg.
Mix in carrots or apples, bananas and add in flour mixture. Add extra
flour if necessary- spoon should stand up in mixture. (I often add an
extra quarter of a cup).
Turn the mixture into a greased 7 inch shallow, square pan and level the surface. Bake until golden brown for 45 minutes.
Cool and cut into fingers to serve.
Granola 2 cups of oatmeal (not instant) 1 heaped cup of mixed nuts- almonds, hazelnuts, pecans- unsalted 1.5 cups of dried fruit- unsulphured- prunes, dates, apricots, cherries, raisins... 1/2 cup of mixed seeds- flax, poppy seeds, sesame seeds 1 cup of shredded coconut 1 tsp of cinnamon 5 Tbsp of maple syrup 5 Tbsp of olive oil
Pre Heat oven to 350. Combine all dry ingredients except the fruit on a cookie sheet. Mix well, drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup. Place
in oven to cook- every 5 minutes take out, stir and then put back in
the oven for a total cooking time of 30 minutes. Remove when golden. Add the dried fruit to the cooled, golden granola.
