&lt;a href="http://www.yogaattheashram.org/&lt;br"&gt;www.yogaattheashram.org/&lt;br&lt;/a&gt; /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will have a booth with shawls, sparkly scarves, cookies, healthy snacks&lt;br /&gt;
and samples of kitcheree. Wait- what? Why kitcheree? *&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am so glad you asked!*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am excited to announce that I will be soon starting a Yogic Food Service&lt;br /&gt;
Program! *I am starting simple with a long time favorite and most requested&lt;br /&gt;
dish, Kitcheree, a version of Mung Beans &amp;amp; Rice and Yogi Tea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the weather turns cooler, the time is perfect or this particular healing&lt;br /&gt;
food. Kitcheree is a complete protein; all essential amino acids are&lt;br /&gt;
contained.  The basic ingredients are basmati rice, mung beans, celery,&lt;br /&gt;
carrots, greens (such as kale or spinach), trinity roots (onion, ginger &amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;
garlic) and spices. As requests for different dishes come in, the menu will&lt;br /&gt;
shift and evolve.  For example, Monday will be Kitcheree day, Thursday will&lt;br /&gt;
be some other yogic meal;, beet casserole, dhal soup, vegetable soup, potent&lt;br /&gt;
potatoes, etcâ€¦&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For now, my plan is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every week, on Monday and Thursday, I will be preparing Kitcheree-fresh,&lt;br /&gt;
from scratch using the best organic ingredients. *&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will deliver to local yoga studios; if other arrangements need to be made&lt;br /&gt;
we can figure that out. *&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*When possible, meals will be delivered in Ball jars, available in Quart and&lt;br /&gt;
Gallon size. There will be a $2 deposit on the jars, and credit will be&lt;br /&gt;
given when jars are returned.  Items like a casserole or potent potatoes&lt;br /&gt;
will require something else. My first choice will be something earth&lt;br /&gt;
friendly, either glass or recycled plastic food containers. *&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All payment can be either in cash or on my website, via Paypal. All&lt;br /&gt;
payments must be made in advance.*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

One favorite was Welsh Rarebit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
It is a sharp cheddar sauce, with a few dashes of &lt;strong&gt;Worcestershire sauce&lt;/strong&gt; to taste&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; It is sooo tasty! What is better, is that there is a vegan version of the Worcestershire sauce by Amy's (sans anchovies) that is comparable to Lea &amp;amp; Perrins. Just melt your favorite cheddar, I like Cabot Hunters sharp cheddar in a bit of milk and add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to taste.&lt;br /&gt;
What I like to do with is start with whatever frozen or fresh veggies I have on hand (broccoli, edamamie, carrots, peas, potatoes, asparagus...)&amp;nbsp;and roast them. &lt;br /&gt;
Then I take either homemade or store bought (just get rid of the evidence!) pie shell, blind bake it- meaning without the ingredients. This way the pastry isn't soggy.&lt;br /&gt;
Add the roasted veggies and top with the veggie rarebit, cover with a pie shell bottom, cut vent holes and bake until golden. Everything on the inside is cooked, so it can go in a hot oven to just bake the top. Let it cool for a good while before devouring!&lt;br /&gt;
