Food for thought on “Makar Sankranti”
Lord Krishna, the Supreme Indian Deity discusses the subject of food in the Holy Geeta scriptures as follows:
“Food which promotes longevity, intelligence, vigour, health and cheerfulness and which is sweet, bland, substantial and naturally agreeable, is dear to the Sattvic (Altruistic) type of men. Purity of mind follows from the purity of diet.” Here, he emphasizes a pure vegetarian diet which is light, soothing, and easily digested. A Sattvic diet is composed of clarified butter, milk, fruit or fruit juices, rice, sesame, and almonds, and should have a sweet taste in general.
Cookies: Tips and Time Savers
1. Don’t have time to roll out dough, cut into shapes and decorate your cookies? Opt for drop or bar cookies instead. They taste
just as good with half of the work, so you can get out of the kitchen twice as fast!
2. Decorated cookies look and taste so delicious, but making frosting can be extra time consuming. Buy several containers of ready-made white icing at the grocery store and add food coloring to it to achieve the desired colors. Your cookies will look great,
you’ll save yourself a lot of time, and no one will be the wiser.
