This are so rich and delicious and make the perfect appetizer for a dinner party.  Lavender Cheese Croquette with Garlic Aioli 1 goat cheese log 2 eggs 1 cup bread crumbs 1/2 tsp culinary lavender buds 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp parsley 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp paprika 2 Tbsp olive oil Garlic Aioli 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 clove garlic, diced 1 tsp lemon juice Garnish with Lavender Cocktail Pick (optional) Slice your cold goat cheese into 1/4 inch slices. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet, set in freezer while you make up your bread crumb mixture. In a small bowl combine bread crumbs, culinary lavender, garlic powder, parsley, salt and paprika, stir to combine and set aside. In another shallow bowl combine 2 eggs and whisk for a couple seconds and set aside. Make up your Garlic aioli in a small bowl by combining your mayonaise, garlic and lemon juice, stir to combine and place it in a small serving dish. Take your cheese from the freezer and dip each one first into the egg and then cover with your bread crumbs until you have coated all of them. In a medium sized fry pan, drizzle olive oil in to cover the bottom of pan about 2 Tbsp worth. Turn heat on medium high and fry your breaded cheese croquettes until golden, turn over and do the other side. Once golden place them on serving dish and serve with your garlic aioli. We liked to add the dollop of garlic aioli to the top and place a lavender cocktail pick on for garnish.  Go out and be inspired by lavender and share with us your pictures of your culinary creations #norwoodlavenderfarm.
Nothing warms you up like a bowl of soup. We love our version of squash soup with a sweet hint of lavender. Topped with a drizzle of Lemon Ginger dressing that brightens the day with it's lemon and zingy ginger notes.

While acorn squash is cooking, heat a medium saucepan on medium heat, add 1 Tbsp olive oil and onion. Let onions soften and cook for about 3-4 minutes, add garlic and saute another minute. Scoop out acorn squash and add to onion mixture along with 3 cups broth. With a stick blender puree until smooth. Add salt, pepper and cream and ginger (opt), stir to combine. Turn heat to low and while it continues to warm prepare the dressing mix. In a blender combine olive oil, ginger, garlic, sherry, lemon juice, maple syrup and nutmeg. Blend for a few seconds until emulsified. Ladle hot soup into bowls, top with a drizzle of dressing and top with pepita seeds and lavender cocktail pick for garnish. Notes- to grind culinary lavender use a clean coffee grinder and grind to desired texture. If you have extra dressing it tastes great on salad too!  If you make this yummy soup #norwoodlavenderfarm we would love to see it! If you want to share our recipe or photos please just make sure you give photo and recipe credit.
Lavender is most known for its calming properties in humans, but has also been known to works for dogs. Try these treats to reduce anxiety and stress for your pet. These treats are not only tasty to them but add a therapeutic benefit.  Calming & Relaxing Dog Treats 1/4 cup Almond butter 3/4 cup flour 3/4 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup water 1 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp Culinary lavender bud Preheat oven to 350℉. In a medium sized bowl combine all ingredients until you can form a dough. On a lightly floured surface roll out your dough to thickness desired and use cookie cutter to cut out dough. Place your cutouts on a silipat lined baking sheet (or lightly oil sprayed pan) and bake until golden brown. For thinly rolled dough bake about 12-15 minutes for thick dog treats about 20 minutes. Once treats are golden brown remove from oven and let cool. Place dog treats in airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. We store our extra dog bones in the freezer and remove just what we need for a treat. This keeps your dog treats fresh in the freezer for up to 8 months.  They make great gifts for your pet loving friends.
