WELLNESS TIP
FROM JEFF PERLMAN

While you cannot control the seasons, you can control certain factors that will build you health, vitality and resistance to disease. Eat warm meals; this creates groundedness. Use spices like cardamom, fennel & cumin to keep the digestive fire & elimination healthy. Stay away from cold, dry and light foods, get proper rest but do not oversleep which increase the Kapha dosha, and finally get exercise daily, even a walk will keep your mind clear & present and the body warm.

FEATURED RECIPE: HOLIDAY BERRY & SEED GRANOLA

1 1⁄2 cup of rolled grain (barley, rye, oat, or multi- grain)
1 1⁄2 cup of oat flakes
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup of almonds, chopped
1⁄4 cup of golden or brown flax seed
3⁄4 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, slightly ground

Coating syrup:
3⁄4 cup honey
3⁄4 cup molasses
1⁄4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons lavender salt.

This granola is aromatic, healthy, and delicious! Makes 4 servings. Prep time: 30 minutes. Bake time: 15-20 minutes. Preheat oven to 325 ̊F. Mix the rolled grain, oat flakes, nuts, and seeds in large baking bowl. Make sure to mix well so ingredients are blended evenly. Then, mix honey, molasses, olive oil, and salt in a thick- bottomed sauce pot on stove an medium heat. Heat until blended and slightly boiling but be careful not to burn! Slowly pour the syrup over the dry mixture, blending evenly with a spatula evenly coated with the liquid. Once pouring is complete continue to mix with a spatula for another minute or so, scraping the bottom and all sides of the dry mixture. Scoop the granola onto 2 greased baking pans and spread evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, checking every 5 minutes and turning the granola so it roasts evenly. After roasting is complete. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. Store in a jar or airtight container to maintain freshness. Enjoy!!
