Vegan Blueberry Lavender Waffles
We just returned from our yearly road trip in celebration of our wedding anniversary and this year on the last day of our trip we visited a blueberry farm Rush River Produce in Maiden Rock Wisconsin and a near by lavender farm Lavender Bluff farm in Stockholm Wisconsin (these are in south eastern […]
Vegan Lavender Almond Raspberry Ice Cream
I love making my own home made ice cream! It’s so fun to just think of a flavor and then be able to make it and put into it whatever you want at the time! Since we are still in prime hot weather ice cream season, I decided to whip up a batch last weekend! […]
Vegan Vanilla Almond Lavender Short Bread
One of the things I have very much enjoyed doing the past couple of years is visiting a lavender farm or two during the summer. Lavender is one of my all time favorite scents and I love using it in recipes. So what better way to get your hands on some than to pick it […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Lavender Cheesecake
I realized recently that it’s been far too long since I’ve made cheesecake. There was a time when I was making one about every other week, because it is one of my all time favorite desserts. It’s been a few years now though so I decided that I needed to make one last weekend […]
Vegan Lemon Lavender Short Bread
It has been really cold this past weekend in Minnesota so it was the perfect weekend to stay inside and do some baking! I love citrus season so I wanted to make something featuring lemon. It is such a bright flavor and we could all use a little sunshine right about now. So I decided […]
Vegan Nectarine Lavender Galette
I love peach and nectarine season! There is nothing like perfectly ripe peaches in the summer and I love to snack on them as well as use them in desserts. I could smell the fragrance of the nectarines at work last week, so I decided that I had to buy some and make something […]
Vegan Raspberry Lavender Cake
Today is my Birthday, and the last couple weekends I have been choosing fun activities to celebrate it, because everyone gets a Birthday month right? So a couple of weekends ago we did something I have always wanted to do, visit a lavender farm! We went to The Lavender Barnyard in Farmington MN, and it […]
Vegan Vanilla Strawberry Lavender Short Bread
I love shortbread, the buttery melt in your mouth texture, the fact that it can be flavored with many different things depending on what you are in the mood for and the fact that it goes wonderful with coffee for a mid-morning pick me up! Last weekend I decided to make some shortbread and I […]
Dark Chocolate Lavender Shortbread
I love all things lavender. I enjoy the aroma of lavender in my home, lavender vanilla lattes are one of my favorite things ever, and I love lavender in baked goods! So last weekend I decided to make some Vegan Dark Chocolate Lavender Shortbread! I have made chocolate shortbread before and vanilla lavender short bread, […]
Lavender Vanilla Iced Latte
While we were in Wisconsin for our anniversary trip last month, we stopped by a lavender farm shop called Island Lavender and it smelled so amazing! Lavender is one of my favorite scents, and it was really tempting to buy so many things from the shop! We did buy some lavender, and other lavender scented […]
Vegan Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
I have been eating so many berries lately. Mostly because it is summer and I feel berry deprived the rest of the year and because I bought a large amount. Berries are not something that is bad to eat a ton of though, why not get your daily antioxidants the natural way, right?! I wanted […]
Dark Chocolate Lavender Truffles
I have been a bit stressed lately due to my my kitchen being remodeled, stuff going on in my personal life, and the change of routine that came with all of this Covid 19 business. There has just been a whole lot going on lately, and being someone that doesn’t do well […]
Raspberry Rose White Chocolate Latte
Everyone has those little thing in life that make them happy. For me, one of those things lately is lattes. Every weekend Eric and I stop and get a latte of some sort at a local coffee shop. Sometimes it is just a plain oatmilk latte, other times a little something added like a hint […]
Lavender Lemonade
It was a sort of gloomy day Wednesday, so when I got home I decided to make myself a fancy drink fit for a hot Summer day and pretend like it was nice outside even though it wasn’t. You would think I would go for hot tea or cocoa or something because it was chilly […]
Blueberry Lavender Latte
I have been really into lattes lately. Not the ones with coffee, because I am not much of a coffee drinker and if I have coffee in the afternoon when I usually enjoy my lattes I would be up all night. I am talking about tea and herbal lattes! They are amazing and I didn’t […]
Vegan Lavender Lemon Waffles
When I was little, my Mom made waffles for lunch or dinner more often than for breakfast. It makes sense to me, why not make them at night during the week when you have time to enjoy them, or for lunch on a weekend if you have things going on in the morning? So now […]
Vegan Lavender Vanilla Shortbread Cookies
Lavender is one of my favorite scents. Next to vanilla, it is something that I enjoy using the essential oil of fairly often for scenting my personal products (like lotions, deodorants, and shampoo), as well as putting in the diffuser in my home or car to keep me calm and relaxed. Besides just enjoying the […]
Vegan Strawberry Sugar Cookies with Dark Chocolate and Lavender
The first day of Spring here in Minnesota was glorious! The sun was shining, the birds were starting to arrive from their Winter vacations and were chirping, and it was warm. Just the perfect weather for being outside and running actually, 50 degrees is my favorite temperature for that. You can wear shorts and a […]
Vegan Nectarine Strawberry Lavender Almond Cobble Pie
Lately I am trying to always see the positive in things. I was working on it yesterday on my run when it was very hot and sticky (it has been hitting 90 the last few days here), and I was feeling pretty miserable. Yes it was hot, but I had so many good things […]
Vegan Strawberry Lavender Scones
They make the most delicious smelling scones in the deli where I work, and since my work station is next to the baked goods cooling rack, I get to enjoy the heavenly aroma. It is one of the happiest smells in the world. If I am having a bad day, and there are some there, […]
Raw Chocolate Blood Orange Caramel Cheesecake with Lavender
I am obsessed with blood oranges lately. They are seriously the most beautiful citrus fruit I have ever seen, and their flavor is the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I have been buying them by the bagful for a few weeks now since they became available here, and I am savoring every juicy orange […]
Raw Pretty in Pink Birthday Cheesecake
Yesterday, I turned 27. However, I still feel as if I should be 21…as 27 is getting so close to 30! This will not stop me however from acting younger than my age. I never want to be boring, and I still like to do things like wear hello kitty kitty band-aids, run through sprinklers […]
