We are taking the rest of the week off from blogging to enjoy some basting, baking, and all sorts of other culinary delights in our kitchen. We hope your thanksgiving is full of family, friends, and great food. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord:Ps. 92:1; ...
I have been obsessed with making soups lately. I guess that is just an inherent to-do that comes with the changing of the seasons. I want to get in my cozy sweater and slippers and slurp something warm. This soup does just that. Its got just a tiny mild amount of spice to warm you up. The warm flavors, the creaminess from the...
If you've known Peggy for any amount of time, you've probably at one point or another been blessed enough to have tasted her apple pie. Using vintage apples she grows in the orchard on the farm, apple pies are an abundant staple in the Nelson household every autumn. Some say her pie recipe is legendary and luckily she is more than happy to...
It's always hard to accept when the harvest season is over and when fall is officially drawing to a close. Our winters on the farm can be long and dark. Luckily we are able to rest and cozy up next to our fire and get some much needed R&R. We use our lavender sachets as a lovely way to keep our linens fresh...
This soup is lovely vegan option verses your traditional bacon laced leek and potato soup. You make up for the lack of bacon with the lovely spices, especially the warm taste of turmeric. It's filling due to the potatoes, but the richness in this soup is surprisingly virtually fat free. This is a delicious healthy fall soup that will warm your belly whenever...
I love a good one pan meal. I also love a good one pan meal that is low in fat and full of good for you vegetables. This meal received my "wow babe, this is delicious" seal of approval from my husband. It has a great tang from the mustard, peas and carrots similar to one of our favorite shrimp dishes at a...
I love recipes that have hidden health benefits. Waffles are traditionally laden with butter, sugar, and are considered a gluttonous treat. However, these wonderful little waffles actually have very little butter, and are loaded with nutrients from the pumpkin and chia seeds. They have a delicious fall spice to them and will leave you coming back for more. Ingredients: 4 tbs butter, melted...
If you've ever been to Utah, you've probably had a Swig Sugar Cookie. They are delicious and addictive. Unfortunately if you live outside of Utah, you can get a little hard up for your Swig Sugar Cookie fix. Luckily we have a great copy cat recipe that should help you through. These cookies are the perfect amount of sweet, with just the right...
Tonights dinner was an uber satisfying autumn meal. It was a meatless meal, but was full of nutrients and protein that won't leave you missing your heifer. As with most of our recipes on the blog recently, this meal comes together in just 20 minutes, and uses affordable and delicious ingredients. This recipe is sure to be on repeat this fall. Ingredients: 1...
Today we are making healthy cookies. As a mom, I know there is one thing that my child will never turn down, a cookie. A cookie can make all things right with the world. Unfortunately, most cookies are just processed sugar, bleached flour, and fat. I wanted to come up with a cookie that was not only healthy, but also good for you....
Well the lavender is harvested and dried. I bet if you had to guess, what our next focus for the year was, it would be pretty obvious. When we are done harvesting the lavender around here, our next big project is our apples! Hence the name the Lavender Apple Farm. I'm currently in the kitchen, working on some delicious and exciting new apple...
I wanted to share some beautiful photos with you that were taken just before our harvest this year. We love our little homestead here in Millville Utah and are so greatful to all of our wonderful customers who love and support our local lavender business. Hope you enjoy these photos and have a wonderful and relaxing day! ...
Every year our farm changes and grows just a bit. We become more efficient, find a new passion that we want to incorporate, or maybe babysit a new animal or two. Well this year our newest addition to the Lavender Apple Farm was a Hoop House. These babies are also known as High Tunnels or Green Houses. Hoop Houses provide an easy way...
