Our Inaugural Post: Vermont Sunshine Macaroons!


Thank you for checking out the first post our our first food blog! Guy and I do a lot of cooking and since he's begun practicing ayurveda, we've had a lot of culinary adventures. This blog is a way to share some of the recipes we've discovered and created. Guy's dosha is Vata-Kapha and I'm a self-diagnosed Pitta, so the recipes will reflect that, but I'll try to include modifications when I can. We are in no way experts, these recipes are part of our personal exploration of health and cooking. So enjoy!



1/2 c Ghee (clarified butter)
1/2c Vermont maple syrup
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 c grated unsweetened coconut
1/2 c sunflower seeds
1 1/4 rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

Preheat oven to 375 F. Combine ghee with maple syrup until creamy. Stir in egg, vanilla, and salt then fold in coconut and sunflower seeds. In a separate bowl, combine oats and flour. Combine ghee mixture with flour mixture and stir until well mixed.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough in to two greased baking sheets. Bake cookies one sheet at a time, for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned and just firm to the touch.

Should Yield 24 cookies

Cool then store or snack.

Suited for: Vata, Pitta, Vata-Kapha

Enjoy the recipe, it was modified from a recipe found on the Whole Foods site.

Check back soon for more posts! I'm sure they'll get better!
