12 Thanks-ghee-ving Day Ideas

We are gearing up for the holidays!

And meanwhile, we are transitioning our look! We have an updated logo, and we are IN LOVE with it and we hope you love it, too! Over the next few months, you will start seeing this logo more and more as we gradually update our labels and packaging! We are so excited!!

I can feel my taste buds tingling with the anticipation of the approaching holidays. The holidays are always so hectic and busy, but they are abundantly joy-filled, as well. The older I get, the more I appreciate my family---past, present, and chosen family, too.

The holidays create in me a strange sense of longing. Longing to give of myself and my time to those that I love, and the longing for those feelings to be reciprocated. It's a craving for a connection, to pour love into relationships, to hold onto something real.

Perhaps, that's also why the holidays can leave so many feeling especially vulnerable. Maybe this is why we have such a deep, intrinsic desire for tradition around this time of year---the comfort and nostalgia of the familiar come again after another spin around the globe.

We wish you safe travels, low-stress, and lots of love this holiday season.

12 Thanks-ghee-ving Day Ideas

Before roasting, slather your turkey in grassfed organic ghee (and maybe a little garlic ghee , as well). The ghee will add depth and give your turkey a lovely golden crisp.

More butter in the mashed potatoes is always a great idea, so why not use ghee instead? :)

Dinner rolls are better with melted ghee. Try Cultured Ghee , Garlic Ghee , or Herbes de Provence Ghee for especially decadent rolls.

Sweet potatoes and Digestive Ghee (with cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom) are a perfect pairing for dessert-like sweet potatoes.

If you're making your own candied nuts, try tossing them in Digestive Ghee . You can't go wrong!

For more savory sweet potatoes, use Niter Kibbeh Ghee , which has cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and turmeric for some fall flair.

Saute your green beans in our sweet, buttery Original Ghee along with fresh garlic slices, toasted almonds, and a little salt.

Use the turkey drippings, Original Ghee , Himalayan Pink Salt , freshly ground Tellicherry peppercorns , and flour to make a salty, savory gravy. Our Tellicherry peppercorns are a rare variety with a little extra heat and a nutty aroma, reminiscent of sandalwood.

Instead of butter, use Italian Ghee or Herbes de Provence Ghee in your stuffing recipe.

Use Indian Dessert Ghee instead of butter when you're sauteing your apples for your apple pie or apple crisp. Don't forget the cinnamon!

Roasted carrots are even better with Turmeric Superghee or Digestive Ghee .

If you're an after dinner coffee or hot tea drinker, don't forget to stir in Coffee++. (Or even a teaspoon of Shatavari Ghee or Herbal Ghees as a supplement.)
