As a parent, you are bound to get persuaded into fort building on quite a regular basis. Spending so much time underneath my kitchen table reading and pretending, gave me a great idea. My husband loves when I come up with an idea on my very own - no pinterest needed! Haha. I decided to paint a sky on the underside of our...
Who doesn't love when a recipe calls for an inexpensive cut of meat? It's such a great way to keep the grocery bill in check while keeping your family satisfied. Pork loin is delicious, and you can actually get the precut pork steaks on sale frequently. This dish is tart, savory, and oh so satisfying. The other thing I love about this meal...
I know I say this every month, but can you believe this month is already almost over? Where does the time go? Before you know it lavender harvest will be upon us. Which reminds me! We have lots to do. Gotta get back to it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Come see at the Salt Lake Farmers Market if you can! Spring...
I have so many loved ones who suffer from crazy migraines. They sound just awful, debilitating sometimes. That is why I absolutely love the Lavender Apple's Eye Pillows. Our lavender eye pillows are hand cut and sewn from the finest silks. Then we fill them with flax and our organic lavender buds. After a full day of eye strain, nothing feels better than...
Growing up I always loved Ramen Noodles. Now that I have unfortunatley become an adult and am more aware of what I put into my body, I don't ever let myself buy Ramen Noodles. But I recently stumbled upon a way to make them at home, in a much healthier way! I call this rainbow ramen because of all the beautiful colors. Not...
Nachos speak my love language. Chips, cheese, beans, I mean, c'mon! When I found a recipe for a mediterranean version, I couldn't get to the grocery store fast enough. Here is my own little spin on them. They are crunchy and creamy. The marinated beans are so satisfying. You will be so happy with this dish. Trust me. Ingredients: 3 Pitas 2 cans...
Welcome to another addition of "Insta Friday" here on the Lavender Apple Blog. My personal favorite on this post today is of course the post of Milo in the sheriff hat. What a big old softie. Have a wonderful weekend! Discussing plague bags on the blog today. 😂 #linkinprofile #lavender #sachets #handmade #blogger #farmlife #country #essentialoils #plague A photo posted by Lavender Apple...
My husband loves when we have breakfast for dinner. Its probably because he is usually so rushed in the morning, a bagel and a banana is all he ever has time for. There is just something so satisfying about hash browns, bacon, eggs. It just warms the soul. Well today's recipe is a fun little twist on a traditional breakfast dish. It was...
Its obvious that here at The Lavender Apple Farm that we think that lavender is the most gorgeous herb invented. Its' beautiful purple buds, gorgeous round plants, relaxing scent, its just everything. Which is why I was so surprised the other day when Peggy plucked something else from her garden that i was absolutely smitten with. These are chives! Please tell me I'm...
Mike used to make what he called "Storybook Waffles" for the kids almost every weekend growing up. That's why it was such a treat to have him make them for his grandson this last weekend! They are fluffy and delicious, and the perfect special treat. Ingredients: 3 eggs, separated 2 tablespoons lavender sugar (Order HERE) 2 cups buttermilk 1 1/2 cups flour 2...
Photo by @abbietastic We have had hives around our farm for many years now. We love the gentle hum of all of the bees you can hear while walking through our lavender fields. We of course have to sell honey, and sell a delicious lavender infused variety. There are many reasons you should be including honey in your diet. Honey contains flavonoids and...
Welcome to another weekend! We did it! Hope you have some fun plans, and we hope you plan to look for us at the Farmers Market!

Tonight we made some tangy messy barbecue whiskey burgers for dinner. They smelled heavenly as they were marinating in the sauce, and they certainly lived up to my expectations once I was able to bite into these juicy babies. The burgers have a sweet tang from the barbecue sauce, and its kicked up a notch by the whiskey glaze. You will love this...
We recently finished one of our small bathroom updates here on the farm. Small bathrooms can be tricky to figure out. You need to have a space for everything. This bathroom was tricky because it has a sloped ceiling. Peggy has always had a knack for choosing gorgeous wallpaper prints, and this one is no different. Isn't it gorgeous! I love the big...
We have two beautiful big dogs here on the Lavender Apple Farm. When it comes to bathing them, each one has his own personality and quirks when it comes to getting clean. A lot of dogs hate getting bathed. Can you blame them? They are getting restrained, then soaked in cold of water, and covered in scented suds. But there are several things...
Peggy recently made an "I SPY" quilt for her 2 year old grandson. I personally had never heard of these before and thought it was such a darling idea! The basic gist is that you round up squares with different fun kid themed patterns on them. You sew them all together into a quilt and then play "I spy" with your toddler. It...
