Greetings Friends! Whether it is the sweet scent of roses or the intoxicating aroma of honeysuckle, the garden can offer a potent array of aromatherapy. One of the many ways I've used herbs in my garden is to create fragrant paths...
Greetings Friends! Today I am sharing a delicious dessert that is gluten free and dairy free. In addition to chocolate, lavender and mint, this tasty pudding has a surprising hidden ingredient...
Happy Wednesday Friends! Do you love Panera as much as I do? Unfortunately the closest one to me is almost an hour drive. After I fell in love with their Strawberry Poppy Seed and Chicken Salad and started having cravings, I came up with this copycat recipe. It is so healthy and refreshing and not only easy to make but cheaper!
Happy Wednesday Friends! When I first started gardening, I stumbled across herbs in an attempt to combat poor rocky soil and deer who ate everything I planted. Since then, they have become the foundation of my garden and Etsy shop. Herbs thrive in poor soil, survive our long hot summers, and are ignored by the deer! They are a lush, fragrant addition to any garden but did you know they offer many health benefits?
Let's start with Mint--by far one of the easiest herbs to grow. Unfortunately, it has gotten a bad rap for overtaking gardens and it is true that once established it does tend to go wild. If this is a concern, it can always be planted in a container. However, I happily welcome any plant that stays green from Spring through Fall, is drought tolerant and smells so heavenly! I love to garnish drinks and desserts with refreshing Mint. Nutritionally, it is rich in vitamins A and C and contains smaller amounts of B2. It is an antioxidant and may decrease the risk of certain cancers. Mint makes a tummy soothing herbal tea and is also delicious in salads, dressings and even veggies.
Hello Friends! This time of year the copycat Shamrock shakes seem to be all the rage. Since tomorrow is officially St. Patrick's Day I thought I would share my version--a Shamrock smoothie.
